Injecting human embryonic stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's disease patients may cause tumors to form reports US researchers in the journal Nature Medicine.
The Anchoress who is keeping closer watch on this than I reports that earlier the injection of embryonic stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's patients were a nightmarish experimentation gone bad.
At the same time, the injection of adult stem cells has shown considerable success with Parkinson's patients.

Why the difference? The Anchoress speculates
That research…made me believe that Embryonic stem cells are like uncut heroin…waaaay, way to powerful to use - they are part of begotten life in its purest form (perhaps still too near to God for our fooling with) - and they are so maleable as to be (so far in research) unpredictable and unusable. And that’s not even getting into the moral and ethical questions of whether or not a human embryo should be exploited in such a way, particularly when Adult Stem Cells are showing remarkable results in everything from helping sufferers of Sickle Cell Anemia and Thallassemias Major and Minor, to spinal injuries, skin regeneration and more.
