Scientists have isolated and replicated some, but adult stem cells are not capable of developing into any other cell type...
Republican Senator Sam Brownback, below left, believes a "wonderful" compromise for Bush would be to increase greatly funding for research on adult stem cells, which are harvested from bone marrow and brain tissue and have begun to show some of the same potential as those derived from embryos. But scientists aren't so sure. It's not yet clear whether adult stem cells will prove as versatile as embryonic ones, particularly in developing cures for Parkinson's disease and diabetes. Researchers also note that it is more difficult to produce large quantities of adult stem cells, and fear they...
