Okay, so if no cures have been made from embryonic stem cells, why is its use still debated? If there has been success with adult stem cells, as this article states, the problem is solved! Win-Win! It’s so simple, people.

The past decade spelled success in research with adult stem cells.
The one area in stem-cell research where there have been no successful treatments is research on human embryos, which involves killing a tiny human being. Dr. David Prentice of the Family Research Council tells OneNewsNow there has been progress in a related field, that of induced pluripotent stem cells that can be developed by taking, for example, skin cells and adding a few genes and reprogramming the cell so it looks and acts like an embryonic stem cell.
But the real success, says Prentice, has been with adult stem cells.

The Obama administration on Wednesday approved 13 new human embryonic stem-cell lines for taxpayer-funded experiments. The 13 lines are the first to be approved under an executive order from President Obama, and the National Institutes of Health says dozens more cell lines will be available soon. Read more…

People can agree on the fundamental principles of civil rights, respect for human dignity and the existence of – and need to protect - universal human rights. But the definition of what behaviors which groups of humans fall into the categories of protected rights is changing all the time. So rapidly, in fact, the lines have gone from blurred to indistinguishable in some areas. Like bioethics, for example.
That’s where the film Lines That Divide comes in to play. Read more…
