Stem cells are more than just for curing disease, they can also be used to regrow vital organs. Stem cells also show promise for regrowing nerve tissue, something previously thought impossible. If we could regrow nerve tissue, we could cure paralysis as well as several neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's.

Stem cells will become what ever you want them to be. If you put them in a liver, they will become liver cells. If you put them in a heart muscle, they become heart muscle cells.
