There are some researchers who claim that embryonic stem cells are somehow 'superior' to other stem cells. And there are those who say a stem cell is a stem cell.
Unfortunately for the former, the publicized successes have not been achieved by using embryonic stem cells, but rather stem cells from one of the other two sources.
The 'ignorance' comment was directed at those who are not researchers who simply do not know there are three sources of stem cells. (It is amazing how many people think embryos are the only source.)
Ignorance if fixable with education. Twisted agendas (not saying you have such a thing but others do) are not so easily remedied.
All I know is that numerous researchers, with nothing to gain except what looks to be the self-satisfaction of helping their fellow man the best they can, have stated that embryo cells show promise that the other two types of cells don't.
Since I'm basically clueless on the subject, I trust them and at least would like to find-out if they're right.
I don't trust those with personal religious agendas which may, or may not be, the real "Truth". Well-intentioned, and from the heart and soul, yes...Of course. But I prefer science over religion in cases such as these.
But that's just IMHO.
Do a find in forum on Mister Blond and see if you think his interest is honest.
