Parents sign an agreement with us that it's their property! You could, but it would be costly. There's not really ever a reason to. May as well have it stay put. Cryopreservation is cryopreservation.

I thought the pricing was a monthly subscription. In that case I would want to be able to transfer to a similar, but more affordable option in the future if that becomes available.

Also 23andMe was purchased by an advertising company, so there is some precedent to be concerned with.

Can you explain this more? How is this guaranteed in the contract?

Perhaps they are using an outside firm to do the actual harvesting and storing, and Anja is just handling marketing and financing? I think that would explain a lot of the comments, including this one.

Oh I see. Yeah I think it depends on which bank youre working with. They may have their own policy!

We have an insurance guarantee :)
