The successes in engineered organs are coming from adult stem cells so far, which don't come with an ethical debate. We can't get there fast enough if this ghoulishness is really what doctors are proposing.

- pbh101 11y agoHaving been around a lot of people who care about this issue growing up, I can tell you there is a lot of loud trumpeting of every advance in adult stem cell research, specifically for this reason. I'm sure there are still some out there who have ethical concerns about adult stem cells, but that is a separate issue.
