Dear Rav Halperin Shlita
Wishing you well. Could you kindly answer this question or see that I get an answer if possible this week.
1) A woman who is due to have a baby wants the doctors to take stem cells from her umbilical, to freeze in case of need. Is this permitted or advisable. I saw the article in Assis Sept 2004.

A person has an obligation to spend up to 20% of his money in order to keep a relative alive.
