Researchers have shown that adult stem cells from one germ layer can be converted into those of another, making adult stem cells at least as useful for cures as [[embryonic stem cells]] might be.  For example, adult stems have been able to turn marrow cells into heart muscle and blood vessels in humans.

While the United States has the largest medical research budget in the world, it also has the most politically powerful [[abortion]] industry.  The industry favors embryonic stem cell research over adult stem cell research in order to legitimize abortion.  Hence relatively little research is done on adult stem cells in the United States, and most of the advances are made in foreign countries.<ref>For example, in the case of a recently successful adult stem cell project for diabetics, "the research was done in Brazil because U.S. doctors were not interested in the approach."[http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/conditions/04/10/diabetes.experiment.ap/index.html]</ref>
