True, but the research to develop effective treatments often begins with embryonic cells. Since there is a HUGE supply of ethical stem cells just waiting to be harvested (umbilical cords) I can’t fathom why some find it necessay to use aborted embryos.

A former classmate of mine is a nurse working in umbilical cord harvesting;as you say,no need for using aborted fetuses.

Besides,ones' own tissue will not be rejected by the immune system.
