The media, especially the US media, seems to be obsessed with embryonic stem cells. Yet, there are in fact TWO types of stem cells. Adult stem cells, and embryonic stem cells. The latter kind are from aborted babies and are the cause of the all the right-vs-left controversy and heated debates on FOX News, etc.
The former kind, however, the ADULT stem cells, are from adults as the name implies, and are often taken from the patient's own body. Yes, even adults have many many stem cells inside of their bodies. In fact in the future it may be possible to dontate your stem cells somewhat like you can donate blood today. Adult stem cells are distributed throughout your body, everywhere. If you want stem cells, then no aborted fetus is needed - your body already has plenty.
So the whole argument around embryonic stem cells, and all those heated debates on radio and TV and parodies on South Park, are just a bunch of people talking about something they know little (or nothing!) about. Because nearly all of the successful research on using stem cells comes from using ADULT stem cells. When I last studied this stuff (some time ago now), ALL of the successful trials had used ADULT stem cells, and all the embryonic stuff had failed. This might be different now, but needless to say, the research in adult stem cells is waaaay ahead of the embryonic ones and has been waaaay more successful.
Sure, the embryonic stem cells have the extra capacity to become any body part. But since your own stem cells already exist in all your body parts right now, are the embryonic ones really needed? Quite a few researchers think that once practical and commerical treatments mature and develop, the embryonic ones may not be needed at all.
So --- could we see stem cells used in the future for FR? Possibly, but if we do see that developed then it is highly likely that the stem cells will be adult ones, and taken from your own body – probably from your genitals where they have already partially specialized towards those types of tissues, etc.
