Well, there are controversial views with regards to stem cell research.
Some would say that stem cell research is important as it has the potential to save many lives and greatly improve our medical knowledge.
However, many would argue that it is 'playing God' and that we should not be using stem cells, as it is not natural - not how things were meant to be.
Adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in some ways because they have less risk of immune rejection, as they can be collected from the patient's own body. Additionally, the use of adult stem cells avoids the ethical concerns surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells have also shown promising results in various treatments and therapies.
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
While adult bone marrow does contain stem cells, they are limited in their ability to differentiate into other cell types compared to embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they can develop into any cell type in the body, making them more versatile for regenerative medicine and research. Additionally, obtaining embryonic stem cells does not require invasive procedures as collecting adult bone marrow does.
Adult bone marrow stem cells have limitations compared to embryonic stem cells, such as a lower potential for differentiation into various cell types. Embryonic stem cells are considered more versatile and can give rise to a wider range of cell types, making them more suitable for research and potential therapeutic applications. Additionally, adult bone marrow stem cells may not be as pluripotent as other types of stem cells, which could affect their effectiveness in certain research and treatment contexts.
One major difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is their different abilities in the number and type of differentiated cell types they can become. Embryonic stem cell can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin.
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.

embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
well yes....and no
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.

Human embryonic and adult stem cells each have advantages and disadvantages regarding potential use for cell-based regenerative therapies. ... Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture.

Stem cells are those which could make up new tissues. Eg. bone marrow stem cells make up blood organelles. Adult stem cells could be used to make tissue that could then be transplanted into human beings.
