Answer:

Embryonic Stem Cell Disadvantages

1. Difficult to differentiate uniformly and homogeneously into a target tissue. 2. Immunogenic—ES cells from a random embryo donor are likely to be rejected. after transplantation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main disadvantage with embryonic stem cells is the way that they are acquired. Since human embryos are destroyed during the process of harvesting embryonic cells, this makes the research unpopular with those that believe human life begins at conception and that this life is being destroyed.

The research is unethical(fetal stem cells) since the blastocyst, an unimplanted human embryo at the sixth to eighth day of development, is destroyed during the stem cell extraction process.
