This isn’t a math question.
Best I can say is that stem cells can regenerate and duplicate cells of any kind, but I don’t think that they can re-attach a severed spinal cord.
The cost would be prohibitive, and there would be a long waiting list since stem-cell research is in the experimental stages.

Based on everything I’ve read including the recent approval by FDA to start clinical trials using human embryonic stem cells to potentially enable paraplegics out of the wheelchair and back on their feet, it has a very high probability of success. Stem cell has the highest potential of any other research to succeed in curing, healing ANY disease, not just paralysis. If efficacy is proved, it can cure diabetes, etc. as well.

Because stem cells are totally undifferentiated, it means that they have the potential to develop to any other body cell under certain conditions.

ps – why is your question in Math? it should be under another catagory.
