Even more notable - we're going to have to be wary of researchers trying to pass off "adult" stem cells from aborted fetuses as somehow being more morally-acceptable than those from killed embryos. Adult stem cells from people who were not harmed by their collection are the only adult stem cells anyone can ethically use.

Actually, you can ethically get embryonic stem cells from amniotic fluid and placentas. Sadly, the fetal tissue harvesting billion dollar plus industry is already driving abortion in many abortuaries. See the below FR thread for more and much more extensive information on the industry.

That is why this article was so stunning to me. I follow adult stem cell research somewhat closely, and to see this acknowledgement made me realize I have NO idea what these people are up to. I have long understood one of the reasons some of the pro-aborts fought for partial birth abortions/PBAs was so the valuable brain cells from the aborted babies could continue to be used for research. I did NOT know that those same brain cells were considered "adult."

Now they are redefining ADULT stem cells when they are really EMBRYONIC stem cells - utterly disgusting.
