But of course, posed this way the question does not distinguish
between stem cells obtained in different ways (and indeed it is sensible to assume that those who expressed opposition in response to this question believed they were being asked about
embryonic stem cells, although the survey does not allow us to know that with confidence).

Commitment in
embryonic stem cells is often depicted as a binary choice
between alternate cell states, pluripotency and specification to a particular germ layer or extraembryonic lineage.
Since regeneration recapitulates in broad strokes
embryonic development, during which a complex multi-cellular organism develops from a handful of
embryonic stem cells, the researchers began by comparing gene expression patterns
between the two processes.
Lineage commitment in the mammalian embryo is most often depicted as a series of binary choices
between alternate cell states, and increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that fate decisions in
embryonic stem (ES) cell cultures reflect these developmental processes [1].
