Would not do that. Currently they take YOUR skin cells and turn them into stem cells. A couple of years ago the process was discovered/perfected. I have a friend who has a degenerative eye condition and this was discussed with him very recently. Basically babies are not needed for stem cells anymore. Its why the stem cell research was allowed again in the US provided that the cells are retrieved using the skin -> stem cell method not the aborted fetus -> stem cell method.

Its an old post, but the point is you use your cells for this. I guess I was a misinformed in the reasons for the Obama bill. Nevertheless I don't see why there is no big push to show that you don't need to kill babies to get stem cells!
