I think stem cells are good. The reason for this is that these cells can be more effective and convenient for people compared to getting new organs through transplants. For example, for Claudio Castillo of Spain, doctors took a donated windpipe, stripped it from the original cells, and used Claudio's own stem cells to "rebuild" the windpipe. The organ is now made up of Castillo's own cells. This allows the body to accept the organ, so she won't have to take medicine to stop the rejection.
