I wouldn't do it for the reasons Kelly's article mentions. Cutting a baby off it's cord is injurious to it's health and can leave a high proportion of it's own needed blood supply behind in the placenta. That doesn't really help anyone. It sounds like a great altruistic thing to do but there are other ways to help people like donate your own adult blood which you can spare rather than that of a baby who isn't making the choice themselves and who needs every drop of their own blood to function optimally after birth.
