That's what I said. I think it is worth raising the point that adult stem cells have been proven to have medical uses, and fetal stem cells have not, even though the latter have been more heavily funded and every left-winger in academia is eager to push it.
But as I said, even if there were some medical value to fetal stem cell research, it should be banned as immoral. Human beings are not utilitarian objects to be killed, used up, and thrown away. This fetal stem cell business always makes me think of the Nazis who wanted to make lampshades out of the skins of Jews killed in the death camps. Possibly they would have made very good lampshades, durable and useful, but that's really not the point, is it? The very idea should make people want to throw up.
Only because there has been 40 years of research (GOVERNMENT FUNDED RESEARCH) of adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cell research is still in its very early stages.

I agree with everything you said but this - over the years, embryonic stem cells have received only a fraction of the overall funding that adult stem cells have... but that is largely because it is a new field...
