Adult stem cells has produced tens of cures compared to the ZERO results from Embryonic Stem Cells.
Please cite your source for such a claim. Also, tell me why exactly is it that we want to use embryonic stem cells if Adult ones are just as useful as they are.

The whole issue gets back to a big abortion debate. People feel this like abortion by destroying these cells.

Probably the issues of both abortion and embryonic stem cell research should be offered for the vote to the public on a national scale to relieve the stress on the nation all of this seems to cause.
No, you are dragging it into the abortion issue. It hasn't got anything to do with abortions. These eggs were removed by permission by woman for in vitro fertilisation or just mere donations. They do not grow inside a woman, no foetus is formed so all this talk of baby killing is merely ignorant/misleading rants.
If Stem cell research went on a national vote, I'm pretty sure that the law would pass as "Opinion polls suggest almost two-thirds of Americans support the research."
