Hey I wear pants but I can't sew. Can you? Under your rules I would not have 3 cars, 2 homes or anything else, because all I do is computer consulting, and I can't even build a mouse either. This is a society... you work for me and I work for you.
I have a few unscientific thoughts on Stem cells. They are not about the morality, that I will leave to people with morals or the money to influence morals.
1. Our DNA in cells "fray", over time, as the cells grow and divide. Could this fraying leave extra "unattached" DNA floating around, and could this "unattached" DNA connect to other DNA and confuse it as to it's purpose. Causing Cancer or Diseases. Could they not compare my "adult stem cells" to the cancerous ones and create a repair? I understand that this may only work for one person but would it work?
2. If stem cells are just "first run" or "virgin" cells that have intact "perfect" DNA thus allowing them to become any cell form as they grow. Then why can they grow these strains for research causing them to grow and divide? Are they not just aging the cells to the point of "fraying dna"? If this is going to cause fraying DNA, it may be an argument for continued creation and harvesting of new strains.

The lines around Taco Bell are gonna be huge!
I would rather eat a dead cow, than a live tomato.
But I do sometimes put ketchup on my burger.....hmmmm

I have never seen a good crop of grain that did not have cow manure on it. Which comes first the the crop or the crap?
Yeah when my loin is tender I don't exercise it much either.
