I know that the US government limits the research and there are few actual stem cells with which to work, so I wonder if there should be a way that sources for embryonic stem cells could be donated to science and research? That probably sounds cold, but I can't help thinking, as you said, that realised life is more valuable (or at least as valuable) as potential life. And besides, the benefits of stem cell research will eventually impact all potential life.
