Thom, stem cells per se are not generally a sensitive subject. Adult stem cells, for example, generally raise no ethical hassles; nor do stem cells obtained from a placenta, or from umbilical cord blood.
What is a sensitive subject is embryonic stem cells, since some people object to the killing of a human embryo to obtain them.
