Nothing with clinical usefulness has been achieved with embryonic stem cells. You'll find a dispute with adult stem cells potential for regenerative medicine. IIRC, there are 70 - 80 indications or clinical trials using adult stem cells.

This is a relatively good review article on stem cells, IMHO.

Adult stem cells work. I got to donate for a little boy with leukemia 2 years or so ago, and finally got some information about him recently...he’s doing quite well.

Reasonably easy procedure...5 days of shots and on the 5th they filter the stem cells out of your blood. Wasn’t any rougher than donating blood really.

My cynical view of stem cell research evolved from reading results of their work. I summarized it for unwashed that had difficulty comprehending facts in the physical world.

The stem cell researcher asserts: We will heal the sick, we will make the desert bloom, we will resurrect the dead, just sent us MONEY.

The media likes to pretend that conservatives like me are against stem cell research. Not true at all. What I’m against is the use of stem cells from aborted babies, the practice of concieving a new human being for the purpose of killing it and then selling its body parts, or creating a new human being in a test tube for the sole purpose of using it for research and then discarding it.
