To me is organ transplants, 100% your own.
there's a wide variety of diseases that can be cured or treated with stem cells, because they have the potential to become any tissue.
To me this is the holy grail that waz given to us.The applications are unlimited, and each day i hear new discovery's made.
if you have more questions feel free to mail me.
I do research on stem cells in my university.

It can heal hearts after a heart attack, MS, people who are paralyzed, incontinence, diabetes, ALS ( Lou Geherigh's Disease) , deafness , Alzheimer's
I would say that any of those would have the most potential.. for anyone who has it. The potential for Stem Cells is limitless.. One need just be able to do the research, and to cure one person of any illness or disease to be able to prove it. I am a huge supporter. If I had known of the ramifications of Stem Cell research, I would have donated my sons' cord blood.. any child I may have in the future will have the knowlege that they helped in this endeavor.

A stem cell transplant is a possible cure for leukemias, lymphomas, myleomas and several other non cancerous diseases. It is in trials to treat most autoimmune diseases. It can be used in conjunction with other organ transplants to give patients a chance to come off their anti rejection meds and may be a possible future cure to aids. Stem cell transplant is a fancy name for a bone marrow transplant. Bone marrow by definition is stem cells. The transplant can be done using bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells or cord blood.

i dont know exactly why, buy i'ver heard from a doctor friend of mine that lukemia, and alzheimers can be wiped out with stem cell treatment, except without the proper research its imposible at this point to prove it....those were the only two my doc friend and i discussed...but im sure there are many more diseases that can be treated if not prevented or abolished.

Stems cells can be used to create new organs, ain't that cool? Now heart transplants won't have to wait.

I think spinal cord injuries are more curable by stem cell research.

i would vote for either Alzheimer or growing new nerves for paralyzed or wheelchair-bound people. or a patch of heart tissue so that life after heart attack would be the same as before it - but i suppose-not sure that this one is already in trials?.
