At this point in the research on embryonic stem cells, worldwide focus is upon trying to figure out just exactly how the differentiation of stem cells takes place and if that differentiation is reversible form pluripotent to totipotent then back to pluripotent along a tissue lines desired. Why? Because a few experiments (human trials outside the uSA) have killed the treated patients.

May I ask, if this exploitation of human beings at their earliest age as embryo is cannibalism (and I firmly believe it is since the human embryo is a human ORGANISM in her/his earliest age of a lifetime), and some of the world wants to do this cannibalism for medical reasons, why we in America must be herded into cannibalism also?

Cannibalism? Who has suggested we start eating embryos?

You are making a moral arguement. We were discussing the science. They are two separate issues. Don't pretend that because you believe something is immoral that the science is bad.
