‘The National Cord Blood Network’s an important initiative in the fight against life threatening and debilitating conditions. I am pleased Rotary is continuing a long history of service to the West Australian community through its centennial project with the Australian Red Cross Blood Service consortium to develop the collection service for WA’
Jim McGinty MLA Minister for Health

‘Unlike research involving embryonic stem cells, work on cord blood stem cells raises no ethical dilemma. Indeed, research on cord blood stem cells holds the promise of advancing human good by increasing the chances of survival for patients who have no other treatment option.’
The Most Revd.Dr.PF CARNLEY AO Archbishop of Perth
and Primate of the Anglican Church in Australia

‘Rotary is to be congratulated for its support for the Rotary WA Cord Blood Bank. I am happy to endorse this very worthwhile project. It is reassuring to know that fully morally acceptable means of treating diseases are being developed.’
Most Rev. BJ Hickey
Roman Catholic Archbishop of Perth

‘A Cord Blood Bank has the great potential of saving lives and there is no risk to mothers or babies, but rather passing on a better life to others. This fits with my philosophy that life is precious and I commend this project to celebrate the Centenary of Rotary to the Western Australian Community.’
