Answer
  • Is a safe procedure with minimum likelihood of rejection as the stem cells used are autologous (taken from the patient’s own body)
  • Offers tremendous potential in regenerative medicine 
  • Offers tremendous potential for treating a wide range of diseases and injuries including but not limited to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, osteoarthritis, and spinal cord injuries
  • Enables the treatment of diseases using the patient’s own cells, minimizing the risk of rejection 
  • Can be used to develop healthy organs and limbs in the lab to be used in transplants or in the treatment of diseases
  • Enables researchers to test the effects of prospective medications and drugs on cells in the lab instead of on humans or animals
  • Enables the study of development stages, which cannot be studied in a human embryo, with the goal of preventing or treating abnormal clinical consequences such as pregnancy loss, infertility, or birth defects
