Does anyone here have any experience with something like this? Is it something my child might benefit from, say, 15 years down the line?
In my opinion, the more aggressive the sales person, the higher margin they have. If it is something you want to do, negotiate on the price.
I would say go for it if financially this has virtually zero impact on you, but also be realistic about ever using it.
Doing your research is important no matter the price or product.
I don’t think it’s a hospital program it’s just an up-sell they get a kick-back on for selling to you.
It’s not a specific recommendation from that hospital, it’s the same as a car dealer upselling a third party insurance program.
As for value and utility, I think that’s covered here already, but I put it in the same bucket as cryogenics. Who knows where those stem cells go and how they’re maintained?
That said, my youngest is 10, so the state of science here might have changed since I last made the decision.
Randos on the internet aren’t going to give you a better answer. If you want another perspective ask the rep to put you in touch with an MD who thinks it IS a good use of resources.
Personally I would only do that if I know and care about the topic, in which case I would have an answer already.
