There is strong evidence that scientific benefits come from fetal tissue research, [which] can be done with an ethical framework.”

They've been saying this for 30 years. No cure looking for an illness.

They could use Induced pluripotent stem cell instead - converted from adult stem-cells. (from wiki->) Since iPSCs can be derived directly from adult tissues, they not only bypass the need for embryos, but can be made in a patient-matched manner, which means that each individual could have their own pluripotent stem cell line.
