I have done pretty extensive research recently and as far as I am aware, they aren't more useful. In fact, they are destructive; Embryonic Stem Cells are almost completely unusable due to a nasty Tumor causing side affect. They might be more researched due to the high quantity available, but Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Adult Stem Cells are the only types of Stem Cells that can be actively used.

ReneEmbryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they have the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body. This makes them valuable for research and potential therapeutic applications. In contrast, adult stem cells are often multipotent, with a more limited differentiation potential, which may restrict their usefulness in certain applications.

What makes embryonic stem useful for medicine?
They can become more cells than adult stem cells can.
What makes embryonic stem cells useful for medecine?
they can differentiate into more cells than adult stem cells can.
What type of stem cells is more useful according to most scientists?
Totipotent
Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell research instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
Are people more upset about some types of stem cells than others?
Yes, embryonic stem cells tend to elicit more controversy and raise ethical concerns compared to adult stem cells. This is because obtaining embryonic stem cells usually involves the destruction of human embryos, which some people view as morally objectionable. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, are obtained without harming embryos and are therefore generally accepted with fewer ethical objections.
