They are not better, embryonic stem cells can become more types then adult.
The major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells is that the embryonic stem cells can cause the destruction of an embryo.
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.

There are two types of stem cells: Embryonic Stem Cells and Adult Stem Cells.Embryonic stem cells are isolated from:The blastocystAdult Stem Cells are isolated from: Bone MarrowFats or Lipids (Known as Adipose Tissue)Blood

Yes. Embryonic stem cells are controversial due to the destruction needed of a fetus. The debate over this is whether the unborn child has a right to life. (Embyonic stem cell debate). However, there are adult stem cells that come from adults. Scientists have been able to get these adult stem to replicate embryonic stem cell properties, and depending on who you ask, the adult stem cells have proven more useful than embryonic stem cells. Since adult stem cells do not destroy anybody, there is nearly non-existant debate with this.

Adult stem cells are more specalized than their embryonic counterparts, embryonic stem cells can become any cell whereas adult stem cells can only be used to form certain cells.
