Cord blood stem cells come from a newborn's umbilical cord while embryonic stem cells are harvested from a human embryo. Although the procedures involved in harvesting it are totally different. A doctor can immediately removed a newborn's umbilical cord and squeeze out those stem cells. Getting stem cells from the embryo requires to kill a forming fetus inside the womb and this procedure is considered unacceptable.
