Correct word for embryonic stem cell is totipotential stem cell. Which is not being used.

Instead they are using pluripotential stem cell. Pluripetential stem cells are found in our red bone marrow. These stem cells becomes our red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

It is interesting that they revert adult skin cells back to pluripotential stem cells. It would make it alot easier to cure some types of diseases without having to use bone marrow donors.

Thank you for clarification. I really wish the press would make the distinction...but of course it would reflect badly on the left's decade old claim that Republicans who did not want to support Embryonic research with tax money were standing in the way of impending miracle cures.
