The days of fetal stem cells are just about over.

Science has found a way to harvest cells from the patient and to culture them into stem cells and reimplant them.

This is called autologous stem cell treatment:

In the cases requiring embryonic stem cells, still... those are harvested in special ways. (before the fetus develops in fact)
