What is the purpose of stem cell research?

With President Obama recent lifting of the ban of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, scientist are able to further their research to find life changing cures. Major health problems that we faced today such as; spinal cord injury, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Lou Gehrig disease, lung diseases, arthritis, sickle cell anemia, and organ failure, all have the possibility of being cured or treated. Stem cell research has also opened the doors for cloning, which is heavy debated upon.
