This may be partiallly true but I am opposed neither on moral grounds or religious grounds. I am opposed because adult stem cell research shows all of the success and embryonic stem cell research has shown no success.

I am not opposed to embryonic stem cell research but rather to the government funding of something that shows no succcess rate whatsoever. There is a reason that private industry is not supporting this. Why should government support what amounts to a boondoggle at this point in time?
Again, I'll reiterate the point, Embryonic research has the greatest potential, if and when we do make a breakthrough, it'll have a much greater impact than Adult stem cells unless they find a way for the latter to be as adaptive and flexible as the former.
