Anyone else find the idea of using aborted fetal cells unsettling? There's just something really strange about it. I would 1000% be on board if there was some way to synthesize it artificially.

There are new methods of harvesting stem cells from adult somatic cells, such as yamanka factors (for which the Nobel Prize was awarded) & CRISPRa: https://www.cell.com/stem-cell-reports/fulltext/S2213-6711(2...

Not really, these cells are no longer being used, might as well do some good with them. Or are you suggesting people are getting abortions to harvest stem cells?
