There are reasons why scientists want to work with both.....why don't you do some research? "Adult stem cells are definitely superior to embryonic for therapies of devastating human diseases. Many of them are in the clinic and some are selling like a commercial “cell product”, others are on the way to clinical trials. Embryonic stem cells will be one of the incredible tools for drug screening and toxicology for developing of new therapies and also the best disease model in vitro. And we have some examples of commercialization in this area. <b.It will be used widely as a research tool in developmental and cancer biology for understanding of gene and cellular mechanisms of embryo- and cancerogenesis. Less likely, ESC-based cell therapy will have some reasonable advantages compared with transplantation of adult stem cells in clinic in the next 5 years. There is no debate in scientific world about “ethical source” and destroying human life, because IVF clinics and patients agreed to gift unwanted embryos (which is medical waste anyway) for stem cell research." hematopoiesis.info A ban of any type of stem cell research, public and religious discussions about ethical issues sounds stupid to me.
