Unfortunately, the issue is that most Americans don't differentiate between the two main types of stem cell research - adult and embryonic. Even the title of this post doesn't! There are major differences, and if you don't already know them, see this (same site that is hosting the article): http://stemcells.nih.gov/info/health.asp There have already been cures developed from adult stem cells, and pluripotent stem cells have been developed from adult stem cells (all according to the same nih.gov site). So why do we continue to pour public time, money, and effort down the embryonic stem cell avenue when the issue is so divisive to our country? That's what private research grants are for.
