stem cells are cells that are capable of dividing and specializing into any type of cell...this means that if the research proves successful we could eradicate the need of transplants and the need of immunospressants which stops the immune system from rejecting the transplanted organ because through stem cell technology we could form an organ exactly genetically identical to the patient. This is only a part of the promise that stem cell research has.

At this stage, they have an open ground laid in front of them! In other words, more possiblilities for cures and help for different ailments than I can post at this time! But an example is to possibly help paralyzed people get movement back. Scientists in California report that injecting human neural stem cells appeared to repair spinal cords in mice. The therapy helped partially paralyzed mice walk again.
