If you want useful stem cells, you need to create and destroy cloned human embryos. If you want useful stem cells, you need to get them from something other than human embryos. The embryonic stem cells are useless.

Stem-cell research in a nutshell:
Stem-cell research has been ongoing around the world for more than 20 years. At the close of 2005 there had been at least 65 treatments developed using Adult Stem Cells with many more in the works and great promise for the future. Conversely, at the close of 2005 there had been ZERO treatments developed using Embryonic Stem Cells.
Moreover, according to
http://www.stemcellresearch.org, Embryonic stem cells pose an unusual risk for genetic changes and tumor formation, with the risk increasing the longer the cells are grown, thus making their therapeutic use even more speculative and problematic.
Embryonic stem cell harvesting kills newly conceived human lives. Thousands of early abortions for a process that does not help and is unnecessary.
