Today, in 2011, people all over the world are needing new kidneys and livers and hearts and various different kinds of organs and tissues. Fortunately, we have many donors around the world and people dying every second who can give these organs and tissues. But what happens when the amount of hearts needed exceeds the amount of organs and tissues available? Well that's what stem cells come into play. With our present day technology and research we can get these stem cells coming from embryos, umbilical cords, and bone marrow to replace the diseased cells and cure a person without needing a transplant.
