Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, apparently there are less than a few thousand potential donors world wide. But still, once we know one means of curing aids, maybe we can something that uses a more available resource.

Either you or the article have a figure wrong, the article said:
Roughly one in 1,000 Europeans and Americans have inherited the mutation from both parents
Of course, if we were CLONING these cells...

Yeah, that's the stickler Fauci focuses on. The person it appears to have worked on was already dying of lukemia so it was worth doing. Living as long and as well as one can with current HIV medications a 20-30% chance of death seems not great. Of course, maybe the fatality rate goes down when someone isn't already weakend by cancer, who knows?
There is a lot of work to be done -- but there could be an actual cure for actual AIDS which is pretty amazing.
