The difference would be that in the Bible, God kills children out of love... to save them from something... Humans are not God however and are not supposed to determine who lives and who dies. Who's time is it to go and who needs to be saved from what. That's not our job. A Christian would say that a stem cell researcher who has decided to make and take life has decided it's okay for him to play god... and that's ego.
Again, there are other ways to extract stem cells. Any particular reason we need to make and take life for them? Because the scientists that consider themselves to be God are too impatient to wait until they can do so. It's easier for them to make and take life than it is to extract it from life without killing it. It's what we as humans have done to the world as a whole.. it's easier to kill the earth than it is to extract only what we need.
