Great way to prove a point.
What little I have heard about stem cell research indicate that fetal stem cell research hasn't shown any success, but that adult stem cell research has.

Maybe he thought it was worth the risk to make his point.
And maybe there has been fewer gains with stem cells because they haven't had as much freedom to use them yet.
IMO, if you can get 1 inch of gain from cells that nobody is going to use anyway, do it. Don't say it's ok to send grown men and women to die for nothing when it's not ok to use some throw-away cells.
