What is an embryonic stem cell?

A cell in a meristem that can differentiate into any type of cell
A cell in an adult that can differentiate into any type of cell
Why might someone NOT support the use of embryonic stem cells in scientific research?
The research could help find cures for diseases
The embryos have to be destroyed to extract the stem cells

Your immune system won't reject the stem cells
It is easier than finding a stem cell donor
There is lots of evidence to support this method of treatment
