Medical researchers believe that stem cell treatments have the potential to change the face of human disease and alleviate suffering.
A number of current stem cell treatments already exists, although they are not commonly used because they tend to be experimental and not very cost-effective.
In the future, medical researchers anticipate being able to use technologies derived from stem cell research to treat cancer, spinal cord injuries, and muscle damage, amongst a number of other diseases and impairments.
