Research is being done to see whether or not the promising results of stem cell research in other medical areas could be applied to the treatment of curing of HIV.

Around $3 billion... Maybe more, but I heard that Texas is trying to find a cure for cancer by using stem cell research.
There is some hope regarding the potential for stem cell research to uncover a cure for multiple sclerosis. Here is an article explaining some research done (stem cells injected into mice to repair their damaged brain cells) on the topic: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/17188.php
Advanced Cell Technology specializes in biotechnology and stem cell research. It is proven that stem cells are a great possibility for recovering paralyzed limbs and with further research, may be a great option for paraplegics.
Researchers could use embryonic stem cells to find the cure to many different disorders and illnesses.
I think it should, although it is horrible using unborn babies, it is very useful and can save a lot of future troubles. Stem cell research can cure diseases and make the world a better place.
Stell cell research is broken up into a few parts, embryonic stem cell research which is the controversial one in which they take the cells of an embryo resulting in its death, adult stem cell research, in which scientists would take the cells of a human being (difference between embryonic and adult stem cell researches is that adult stem cell research is when cells are taken anytime after birth). Finally, there is another type of stem cell research called induced pluripotent stem cell research where they, in simple terms, genetically reprogram cells to be other types of cells. This does not involve the death of an embryo. The difference in these types is that embryonic can produce many types of cells, adult produces only a few, and induced pluripotent does the same as embryonic. This research could affect the community in that we would be able regenerate types of cells that otherwise would not be able to such as brain and heart cells. This would be beneficial because this would possibly allow the cure to diseases and health issues that they're currently is no cure for, an example being Alzheimer's (spelling?). This could lead to longer life spans possibly (after much research and time) close to what we consider eternal life, with obviously replacing cells repeatedly which would be very costly to a bank account. Some opponents of stem cell research fear that it could have negative effects on the community. Human cloning is a theoretical possibility of stem cell research that could have big impacts on the way we view one another. Another criticism is the source of stem cells, of which certain types cause the death of an embryo. Anti-abortionists believe that this murder.
"BD Biosciences are currently working on furthering their research on Stem Cells, Stem Cell Transplants, and the general use of stem cells to treat and cure disease."
The positive side of stem cell research, the reason why people are dedicating their lives to the advancement of stem cell research, is that it has the potential to cure any number of injuries or diseases. Things such as spinal cord injuries, degenerative diseases, cancers, diabetes could all be cured by stem cell technology.
How much does stem cell research cost? $4 trillion per year.
