Well it's not like we should just completely abandon research on embryonic stem cells. We still have a lot to learn about them, but we have even more to learn about these new iPS cells. Furthermore, what valuable knowledge might we gain from comparing the two? That's the real question I'm interested in.
Oh and for the record- embryos are not babies; if you're a baby, then you're out of the womb. If you're an embryo, then you're not even in the fetal stage yet. You're just a mass of clumped cells that are undergoing the earliest possible stages of growth and differentiation. You have no capacity to think, you have no feelings, hell none of your vital organs have even formed properly yet.
