Questions about stem cell research?

Question by : Questions about stem cell research?
Got some questions.
1. If embryonic stem cells can become all types of cells in the body and easily grown in cell culture, why are adult stem cells which are more limited less declined in treating diseases and transplants?
2. Some people think using and destroying a fetus for research is unethical. Why do they have to use the stem cells from fetus instead of growing them in cell culture?
3. What are pluripotent cells and how do they relate to stem cells?
4. Do the fetus have to be in an "in vitro" (artificial) environment or can they be aborted? How can aborted fetus be used for research with detrimental the cells?
Thank you for helping
