You were saying that because the names were different between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells that we should have known three years ago that they had totally different makeup properties and characteristics, just because of the name. You further more claimed that iPS cells and embryonic stem cells were exactly alike even though we haven't done as much research on iPS cells as we have on the latter.
Ergo, it is entirely possible to apply your "logic" on the embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells to the iPS cells and embryonic stem cells.
Are you really so illiterate to the concerning matter that you cannot carry through with a detailed conversation? Apparently, you are. Further tests and research studies are needed between the two, further tests and studies will be done on both of them, deal with it. KTHANKS.
Just because they appear to be similar does not mean there aren't any differences between the two; even so, you would have all research thrown out for these iPS cells that we still know
very little about. We learned that lesson with adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Derived from different sources but capable of the same effects; however adult stem cells were and are less effective than embryonic stem cells because they lack some of the proteins embryonic stem cells have and they furthermore do not divide and replicate as fast as the latter.
This, for the last time, is exactly the reason WHY we need more research done between the two so we can find out what is different. Thankfully, the people working on the project won't listen to people like you.
