The abortion people like to claim that bone marrow transplants are stem cells. Yeah, but with a difference, folks, the donor doesn't die.
So, we aren't against stem cells, we are against taking them away from someone and causing a death. If you can take them and not have a death or disability result, then you have a donor.
The science is so shaky and like you said, there are adult stem cells that show more promise without the eugenics and moral issues involved.
