Embryonic stem cells are of better quality than those harvested from other tissue resources. It is ludicrous to kill off unused and undesired embryos that consist of a few cells when stem cells can be harvested to cure diseases in miraculous ways. I find it ironic that sick American children go to China for stem cell therapies. We laud oursleves when children form third world countries are treated for diseases and conditions here in the US, but we allow religious dogma from helping our own here at home.
