Anybody who claims to know what the relative potentials of embryonic vs. adult stem cells are is either 1) too stupid to realize how stupid they are, or 2) lying. The very top researchers in this field don't claim to know that, and yet this journalist who has no professional credentials whatsoever in stem cell biology or any related field, is claiming that HE knows. What a load of crap. His credibility is several notches below those sorry excuses for scientists who claim that they know that "global warming" is a dire emergency and entirely caused by human activity.

It's not about relative potentials; it's about results. Both types of stem cells were first studied about 50 years ago. ASC's have been used therapeutically for around 20 years. ESC's have no therapeutic use whatsoever at this late date. Please read the article, not just the post. If you have spent the reading time already, I have no comment. But I suspect you have not made the effort.

Michael Fumento is a bona fide authority on many subjects. His style is journalistic; he deals in facts; he is a diligent fellow and if you would have followed any of my recommendations, (e.g. read the source document and/or visit his site), you would have found he answers all his hate mail. I encourage you to send him some.

And while you're there, view his Review of Michael Fumento's Hate Mail (right at the end of the thirty-nine volumes of hate mail) It includes this line:
The aptly named Fumento has set himself the impressive, if not admirable, goal of being the most irritating human being on the planet, and he follows a shrewd principle: If you're going to be an asshole, be a really meticulous asshole. His writings dissect, in thorough, well sourced detail, various public "myths" of heterosexual AIDS, of Gulf War Syndrome, of domestic abuse, etc.

I await your next uninformed response.,

Mr. Fumento would likely respond, as well.
