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
Yes it is worthy to bank it. Stem cell can cure many fatal diseases.
A stem cell transplant can help cure disease because it can grow into any cells that you body needs. An example of a time when a stem cell transplant is when a man cut off the end of his finger and used pig stem cells to grow it back.
They hope to grow tissues to cure disease
To cure diseased by regenerating tissues

Stem cell or bone marrow transplants are the only cure for sickle cell disease

There is no cure for AIDS, there has been only one person cured of HIV who was cured through intensive stem-cell treatment.
Around $3 billion... Maybe more, but I heard that Texas is trying to find a cure for cancer by using stem cell research.
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.
"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."
Embryonic stem cells are totipotent, meaning they have the potential to become any type of body cell because the genome hasn't been differentiated yet; however, to obtain embryonic stem cells the fetus must die.
