They'll never stop...

Not being satisfied at destroying a human being during the embryo stage, scientists at UC Irvine are letting the embryo develop longer until it develops specialized, neural stem cells.


I actually got a bit excited reading this article when it mentions that embryonic stem cells are " not the only type of stem cell". I thought it would acknowledge the many success stories from using Adult Stem cells derived from fat, placenta, nasal tissue, etc. But oh no. They then go on to describe the "neural stem cells". The article never once mentions adult stem cells.

Just wait until the scientists realize that if they just wait a bit longer, actual organs will be present for them to "harvest". In fact, why not just wait until 8 months or so have gone by for the "fetus" to develop even more special cells.
