They’d rather a person die than to have the cells of an already long-dead embryo go to their cure.

The stem cells don't come from DEAD embryos. The embryos are ALIVE, at least until the stem cells are extracted.

The Church HAS kept up with the research, and she sees, as does anyone who honestly wants to cure disease, that ADULT stem cells are the only ones that have actually worked for that purpose.

Adult stem cells didn’t work until they were tried. Embryonic stem cells have just had their first human clinical trial approved. Of course they haven’t helped yet.

Actually, that's true.

That's not true. The cells used in these experiments come from subculturing a line, not from a live embryo.
