It's amazing what can be done with stem cells. The possibilities are exciting. IF only they will use the good stem cells and not from aborted babies.

You do realize that adult and embryonic stem cells have different properties, yes? That embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, and so far adult stem cells have not been found to be pluripotent? Which means adult stem cells are great for certain diseases, but have not been shown to have the same promise for other diseases. Also, my impression is that the stem cells used do not, in fact, come from aborted babies; they come from extra embryos due to be discarded by fertility clinics.
