Yes. Early stages of research are able to use embryonic stem-cells instead of adult stem-cells, and are much more cost effective in a field that is already woefully underfunded for the potential benefits.

Embryos are studied because they show the wonderful similarity that all species have when they are in utero (in the womb). We all start out with similar features, such as a tail, and as our genetic codes trigger certain cells to grow and others to replicate, we gradually develop into our specific species.

Embryos show a common pattern of development that help to give evidence to the fact that we evolved from a common ancestor, though all that remains to show of that common lineage is so radically altered as we develop into infants and then adults.
