Whining? First off, making adult stem cells plenipotentiary may not be possible. We don't know yet. Nor do you. Secondly, many researchers obviously are looking into all the ways adult stem cells can be used. Hence this research comes out that causes you to label scientists "whiners". Perhaps you would prefer that we forgo the potential benefits of therapies involving embryonic stems cells while all stem cell research focuses on ways to utilize adult stem cells. That is a valid point. Calling them "whiners" is not. Researchers using embryonic stem cells are trying to save lives. Personally, I am quite glad that researchers are investigating a number of complimentary avenues to accomplish the goal of helping us deal more effectively with terrible diseases and injuries.
