If I remember correctly, aren't they able to get the cells from an aborted fetus as well? If that's the case, then why not use that? Regardless of whether abortion is in the right or not, at least get some use out of it while it's happening...

Because it's unethical, like using the collagen of aborted babies in cosmetics.
Besides, adult stem cells work. Embryonic ones really don't work so well.

It's more ethical to just toss the fetus? Like I said, why not get some use out of it instead of it taking space in a landfill?

I probably am wrong on this, but I thought they hadn't done enough research to really determine what results either will generate. I mean, while there is ton of potential with stem cells--adult or embryonic--isn't there also a possibility they could be worthless, no matter where they came from?

When you die, do you want your body tossed in a landfill?
