Aw thanks.

Actually yeah, I am confusing foetus and embryo cos I guess I dunno at what stage one morphs into the other? I don't know whether stem-cell can be performed on a foetus or not, frankly. Although isn't there something about stem-cells being available from in umbilical cords? Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree? I am really not informed enough on this subject to comment sensibly, so I should get onto wikipedia and check it out a bit more first.
