There is the possibility. I'm not part of any projects, but I've studied enough to see the possibilities. Cancer cells are mutations of normal cells. If we can see those cells' origins, it may be possible to find out why cancer is so detrimental to the human body and how to reverse it -- and stem cells are as close to a genetic origin as we can get at this point in time.

Yes they can help with finding cures. But at what cost. Anyway the cells are like lets say a cake in the making well they are just an idea until you give it the right ingredients like chocolate. Well the cell are just cells that you can make them into what you want them to be if you need a brain cell you implant them with other brain cells to make it into one. Just as if you need a liver cell or a lung cell they are like blank canvases that you alter to become what you want. That is why in the past they are from embryo cell that have not formed into anything yet. Easier to manipulate and mold.
