=Benefits of Stem Cell Research=

Stem cell research is incredibly important. If we can figure out how they work, the possibilities are endless. We would be able to find treatments and/or cures for most diseases. We can already do white blood cell treatment for patients with HIV/AIDS lymphoma. We can take the patient's WBCs and basically clone them using stem cells. These new WBCs can be put back into the patient so that the chemotherapy doesn't take away what little immune system they have left. We can also reproduce the insulin reproducing cells that are destroyed in type I diabetes, thus, curing type I diabetes. Stem cells can also help reproduce certain heart cells to treat heart disease and stroke. Scientists are also studying stem cells to understand and possibly find a better way to cure cancer.
