"ethical" stem cell lines created

BBC reports they are now able to take stem cells from embryos without killing them, so they are ethical. This is good news

Two problems with the story.

One: "ETHICAL" is in quotation marks.

Two: there are plenty of "ethical" stem cells, from bone marrow, from fat, from umbillical cord blood and umbillical cords, etc.
And adult stem cells are already being used to cure people.
