Are adult stem cells really potentially better than embryonic?
Present research indicates that adult stem cells are just as good as embryonic.
Are fetal cells only source of stem cells?

Why can you not just use stem cells from adult bone marrow in stem cell research?
You actually can use the stem cells from adult bone marrow in stem cell research. The practice has been gaining momentum with discoveries relating to mesenchymal stem cells.
How are adult stem cells better then embryonic stem cells?
They are not better, embryonic stem cells can become more types then adult.
What ways might use of adult stem cells be better than the use of embryonic stem cells?
The adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in a very few cases. One way they are better is that the adult stem cells can be transplanted back into the adult patient and grown. The body will not reject its own stem cells.
