Acadiana Concerned is missing the point entirely.

There is a huge difference between embryonic stem cell research and adult stem cell research. You are comparing apples to oranges. While embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, unlike adult stem cells, the benefits of adult stem cells could be far more important than embryonic stem cell research in the future. In stem cell replacement therapies, embryonic stem cells might be rejected by the patient's immune system. The patient's immune system will not reject its own adult stem cells. It shows ignorance on your part to use an article on adult stem cells to promote embryonic stem cell research. The conservative administration has refused to fund embryonic stem cell research based on religious principles, not adult stem cells.

Americans are currently receiving the benefits from adult stem cell research. New breakthroughs in the research has allowed for new chemotherapy treatments and other treatments for autoimmune diseases, strokes, immunodeficiencies, anemias, and so on and so forth.
