"These embryonic stem cells boast two advantages over the rest of the pack. First, they can
develop into any kind of tissue found in the adult body--heart cells that beat or neurons that send
chemical and electrical impulses. Second, a single batch of embryonic cells can divide
indefinitely in the lab, so supply isn't a problem."

If this is true it makes me wonder about the people who recently created new embryos for stem cell research. It would seem that the already created stem cells combined with new stem cells from already created embryos would be more then enough to cover any demand. The only two explinations that I can think of are 1 - They wanted embryonic stems cells with certain genetic charecteristics. 2 - They thought those who opposed stem cell research where stupid reactionary troglodytes and they wanted to rub these peoples faces in it.
