The WSJ had an article a while back on how venture capitalists are staying away from embryonic stem cells research in droves. Why? The experiments to date have been failures or worse; they may be multipotent, but they're uncontrollable. Adult stem cell research has many successes.
It really does seem that some researchers prefer ESC precisely because it's so Faustian.
Thanx for the interesting info. I'm going to add it to my personal files to use for debatting or writing letters to editors.
God bless!
