This study explores the potential of stem cell technology in human and veterinary medicine, focusing on ethical challenges, preferred stem cell sources, and strategies for biobanking in Libya. An electronic survey of 500 participants from Arab countries assessed awareness, acceptance, concerns, and preferences regarding stem cell therapy. Most respondents (78%) had heard of stem cells, but only 21% had good knowledge, and 65% were willing to try stem cell therapy. The main concerns were health risks (47%), ethical issues (21%), and cost (18%), with a preference for adult and cord blood stem cells. The majority recommended awareness campaigns to improve public acceptance. The findings underscore the promise of stem cell applications and the need for education and ethical frameworks to support their use in Libya and the Arab region.
