This is a sticky wicket...
What doesn't get publicized much is the fact that the harvesting of these "Stem Cells" from an embryo, can only happen after it has been fertilized. Thus, to many, a living human. So I am a bit torn on this usage, because I understand the ideal of the opposition, even though I don't morally follow that line of thought.
You should respect that and I can easily support alternatives, like the UK finding that stem cells can be created from skin tissue. It just simplifies things and eliminates arguments. You know, it's something everyone can get behind.
We need more of that.
