Christian Doctors Call for Support of Adult Stem Cell Study (Oppose Embryonic Stem Cells)

And they don't really even oppose embryonic stem cell research, just research on embryonic stem cells that come from fetuses created for the purpose of harvesting stem cells. There are PLENTY of embryonic stem cells in cord blood.

I'm afraid that you don't understand the definition of "embryonic stem cells." These are the cells that are harvested from embryos that are approximately 5 days old, before the differentiation that makes them "fetal" or, subsequently, "adult" stem cells.

There are no embryonic stem cells in cord blood.

If there were, then the thousands of patients who have received cord blood transplants would be growing embryos or tumors in their bodies.
