How successful exactly.. is adult/embryonic stem cell research?

Question

Any sites that show statistics of the success rates of the use of both adult and embryonic stem cell for various diseases?

Like how many 'deaths' [failures or a disease caused by misuse of stem cell research, which resulted in death], per 'save'? [cure of original disease with no life -threatening side effects]...

Hans B, I wouldn't agree that it is 100% because adult stem research is proven to be [for example], be rejected by the patient's immune system, cause a second cancer, etc. Those are failures.

Here's an interesting article:

Answer 2

The measure of success isn't going to be on a 'one patient at a time' scale, it will probably be in the form of a major breakthrough like figuring out how to silence or repair the gene that malfunctions causing a certain disease, and then the figure will be 100% success. Lets say, for example, that 5000 people died in the process of finding the cure. Well once the cure is found then the rest of the population untill the end of time will be cured. Assume also that the end of time never comes then you have a 5000 failure to infinity success ratio, or a 100% success rate.
