If you're going to debate this with me, you had best read that article in full... it states quite a few things about the limits and terms of using embryos as stem cell fodder.
That said, I don't personally think we even need to go the route of stem cells from embryos, although that is undoubtably the easiest way to get them.
What I'd like to see is more research into making stem cells out of adipose, or out of stem cells harvested from bone marrow in your own body... I'd like to keep the embryos out of it just to placate the religious people.
I feel that staying away from anything even remotely inciteful to a religious person is a good idea, since Lord knows they don't respond to logic and reason when they insist on hope and faith. (yes, there's some sarcasm in the preceeding paragraph; that's intentional)
