embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells

Using embryonic stem cells is unethical for many people, especially if they were only created for stem cell research.
Embryonic stem cells that are pluripotent can develop into any type of cell.

Human embryonic and adult stem cells each have advantages and disadvantages regarding potential use for cell-based regenerative therapies. ... Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture.
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.
Similarities: Both adult and embryonic stem cells have the potential to develop into different cell types in the body. They are both utilized in research to study cell behavior and potential therapies. Differences: Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos, while adult stem cells are found in various tissues in the body. Adult stem cells have a more restricted potential to differentiate into specific cell types compared to embryonic stem cells. Ethical issues are often raised with the use of embryonic stem cells due to the source of their derivation.
President-elect Obama, and the Democratic party, do not oppose embyonic stem cell research, and may support goventment funding for it in the future. US government funding of such research is currently suspended by an executive order of President Bush.
There is no current information or evidence to suggest that Case is involved in any embryonic stem cell therapy.
