Why are stem cells not more abundant in the human body? I learned that stem cells can proliferate into any kind of cell in the body. These cells can be very beneficial for repairing damaged tissues and replacing dead tissue. So, if stem cells have so many uses and benefits why are they not more abundant in the human body? What are the benefits and risks of an increase of stem cells? Do the benefits outweigh the possible problems? Is an increase in stem cell numbers only worth while when an injury has occurred such as in stem cell therapy? Thank you
Why are scientists so excited about human embryonic and adult stem cells?

What kind(s) of cells can develop from totipotent stem cell?
Stem cells have the potential to transform into any of the various cell types in the body, and thus researchers have explored how stem cells may be used to treat different conditions. Which conditions benefit most from this treatment? At least 351 companies in the United States are now offering unapproved stem cell procedures at 570 clinics. If you had a serious illness such as Parkinson's disease and found an unregulated clinic that offered to cure your illness using stem cell therapy, would you accept the offer? What do you think is the reason that FDA and state medical boards are indifferent to those treatment; are unaware of the scope of the problem or simply are ignoring it
