Adult stem cells tend not to form tumors.

The first misconception is that embryonic stem cell research is not legal. The fact is, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal. Research on embryonic stem cells has taken place for years.

So why in the world would anyone support the unethical, failed use of embryonic stem cells instead of the ethical, successful use of adult stem cells? Because they do not know the difference.

Stem cells are probably going to be extremely useful.

We believe that these types of cells are actually more primitive and more flexible than the adult stem cells that would be found in bone marrow, ... They're much younger. They're more robust.

There is an abundance of misinformation, exaggeration, and blatant lies being spread by interest groups regarding the prospects for embryonic stem cell research.
