Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell research instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
Are adult stem cells really potentially better than embryonic?
Present research indicates that adult stem cells are just as good as embryonic.
What is cloning to produce embryonic stem cells called?
Cloning to produce embryonic stem cells is called therapeutic cloning. This process involves creating a clone of a donor’s cells to generate embryonic stem cells that can be used for medical research and potential treatments.
What are some global opinions that support the use of embryonic stem cells use?
Some global opinions supporting the use of embryonic stem cells stem from their potential to treat various diseases and conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and spinal cord injuries. Additionally, proponents argue that the research on embryonic stem cells can lead to medical advancements and better understanding of human development. Many believe that the benefits of using embryonic stem cells in research and therapy outweigh ethical concerns.
Does the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation support embryonic stem cell research?
"The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is not involved in funding research on the use of human embryonic stem cells. The CF Foundation has provided funds to an institution for research on human adult stem cells for CF research. This research grant is approximately $40,000 in total."American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Vol 173. pp. 1043-1045, (2006)http://ajrccm.atsjournals.org/cgi/content/full/173/9/1043

Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells in medical research?
One reason researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells because adult stem cells are often found in limited quantities, are difficult to isolate, and the older the donor, the less stem cells they have.

Is using embryonic stem cells for research legally considered murder?
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.
Are adult stem cells really potentially better than embryonic?
Present research indicates that adult stem cells are just as good as embryonic.

What would you say to some that supports embryonic stem cells?
Using embryonic stem cells is unethical for many people, especially if they were only created for stem cell research.
How can one obtain embryonic stem (ES) cells for research purposes?
Embryonic stem (ES) cells can be obtained from embryos that are donated for research purposes. These embryos are typically leftover from in vitro fertilization procedures and are donated with informed consent. Researchers can then extract the ES cells from these embryos for use in research studies.

Why do researches prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult?
Because the (human) embryos are frozen and they are readily available and will be destroyed if not implanted in a womb of a potential mother. Unfortunately, people see the frozen embryonic cell as an opportunity to do science. Some researchers feel that throwing out frozen embryonic cells is a waste. A scientist goal is to improve the value of human life by finding a value in the human embryonic cell. It would be like using a person, without permission, to make another person either get better or live longer. The moral problem is that it takes the life of another human to gain the advantage for a supposedly superior being. Another reason is because of the promise of embryonic stem cells is just to consuming to a research scientist. They can make a lot of money, and cure some serious diseases by using the embryonic stem cell. Another reason is that the federal funds to do the research have been available since 2008. If the government sponsors this type of research, then more scientists will use the government (USA) money to keep their projects funded. It is important to know that even though initial tests in embryonic stem cells looked promising, more can also be done with adult stem cells, without harming the potential for human life. Also, so called hybrid-stem cells that can be reverted back to stem cell status from an adult stem cell has made big progress in 2011-12. Both hybrid and adult stem cell research can be done without hurting the potential for life.
