Evidence needed: "Lack of progress in stem cell research"?

Any suggestions on how to find any? This is for a formal science debate.
There has been many discoveries...but then many diseases are 'yet to be treated' and many sites claim that stem cells 'have the potential'... How to combine those into strong evidence?
Answer:
Extract from the doc:"While Dr. Hwang鈥檚 fabricated research is certainly cause for outrage, it also serves to underscore the utter lack of progress that has been made in embryonic stem cell research. While ethically non-controversial adult stem cells are being used today to cure real diseases in real patients, morally objectionable embryonic stem cell research can only offer vague hopes of possible treatments sometime in the future."http://www.house.gov/pence/rsc/doc/ca_01...
Well, decent progress has been made in both adult and embryonic stem cell research. However, while adult stem research has resulted in pratical treatments for human beings, and are currently being put to use, NO successul human therapies have been created with the use of embryonic stem cell research.That is because of the lesser amount of money being donated to embryonic stem cell research [maybe...because of its immorality]. Here's some evidence: The LATEST 'useful' discovery was before 2000 when scientists discovered that embryonic stem cells were pluri-potent =O//. Nowadays, scientists still have trouble attempting to control the embryonic stem cell cultures, controlling what they differentiate into, and preventing cancers and tumors from happening... Along with those disadvantages, embryonic stem cell research is unethical and immoral. [I'm not sure, but isn't George Bush the first national leader of the world to fund for embryonic stem cell research that "does not kill to heal another?".]Well, embryonic stem cell research can be grown in large amounts in the labatories, but the fact remains that those stem cell lines cause cancers with prolonged storage, and every one of those lines start with the destruction of an embryo, potential human life. A recent discovery of amniotic fluid suggests that 'pluri-potent' stem cells were found without damaging the mom or the baby. Well, in the same article, no evidence has been provided that those are actually embryonic stem cell research.
