State Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod (D-Chino) intends to introduce a measure that will establish accredidation standards and guidelines for the operation of fertility clinics.  The intent is to better protect the public because of the increasing number of surgical procedures being performed outside of the walls of a hospital.  The measure would essentially bring fertility clinics under the jurisdiction of the Medical Board of California requiring the establishment of standardized procedures and protocols to be followed in the event of complications and to govern emergency and urgent care situations.

This bill will also affect other clinics, such as plastic surgery centers.  This bill also recommends some additional requirements including disclosure; however, this just appears to be the first of many regulations to come after the wake of the octuplets.

The AABB, the American Associaion of Blood Banks, reported today that mismatched cord blood can benefit children as follows:

"A U.S. study found that an umbilical cord blood transplant from an unrelated or mismatched donor could work in children with malignant and nonmalignant conditions without adding complications. Using unrelated cord blood for transplant also could result in more matches for patients, particularly those from ethnic minority groups, the researchers said. The findings suggest that "unrelated cord blood transplant should be considered as an option for many of our young patients in need of a transplant," the lead researcher said. "

Sounds like banking cord blood when your baby is born, whether by you or a gestational carrier, is a good option all the way around for your child, as well as any siblings or other family members.
