Just a heads up, most of the embryos used to harvest self-replicating stem cell lines come from in-vitro fertilization.
During in-vitro, after successful implantation, there are a bunch of embryos left over that aren't used and will be destroyed, as the doctors have no use for the leftovers. So instead of destroying them, they might as well use them for stem cell harvesting, as they aren't ever going to turn into a human life at that point anyways.
The main issue here is that people tie stem cell research in with fetuses and abortion. Both of which are unrelated.
