That was my thought, too. Research so far overwhelmingly favors the use of adult stem cells over embryonic stem cells, but leftist politicians and leftist reporters simply ignore it.
It doesn't satisfy their need to worship Baal.
I happen to know that stem cells embryonic fluid has been saved since at least 1964, when my son was born. I was shown the freezer where it was kept, so I take it with a grain of salt what some call "possibliites". There is really nothing new. I have not seen any advances so far.
The whole situation reminded me of Baal worship too.
