Why is it that everyone seems to think the cure to everything is in stem cells?

Not picking on you, Cyborg, you were just the first to say it. Here we have a study that says they reversed diabetes in monkeys without stem cells, YET the next leap is to think we need stem cells for a human treatment?

(and this has nothing to do with religion for me, I'll never be acused of being religious, I'm just wondering if anyone has read of all the stem-cell failures/shortcomings of late?)
