The medical research establishment continues to defend embryonic stem cell research. The U.S. National Institutes of Health, for example, asks, "Have human embryonic stem cells been used successfully to treat any human diseases yet?" on an information page about both kinds of stem cell research. The NIH avoids giving a straight answer with this statement: "Stem cell research ['embryonic' has been dropped] offers hope for treating many human diseases. Click here to read a description of the current status of stem cells and human disease therapies."
Embryonic stem cells are pushed for one reason and one reason only: they are seen as a justification for abortion.

Yes. Whenever the media talk about stem cells accomplishing something, you can be sure it’s adult stem cells. Especially if they refrain from saying so.

Doctors have made REMARKABLE good progress towards curing both insulin-dependent Type I diabetes and adult-onset Type II diabetes using stem cells in the past six months.

Embryonic stem cells at one time were our only hope. It was settled science.

I agree with that, and this article reveals that embryonic is not necessary.
What an uplifting article...

Embryonic stem cells are pushed for one reason and one reason only: they are seen as a justification for abortion. No truer statement~!
