I'm pretty sure that stem cell researchers have a spiritual leader from every faith and philosophy come in to bless or baptize the cells before they begin their research. Just a little CYA.
So it's kind of a moot point.

101 Crash Course on Stem Cells: Stem Cells are part of the human make up. Scientists and Medical Professionals can use "Adult Stem Cells", "Stem Cells from Umbilical Cords" and from "Dead fetus' ". Stem-Cells are not human life, but the components for human life. Therefore, the Church is in favor of stem cell research providing it's not on the dead fetus'.
Since the basis of your question is aimed toward where does the unborn baptized go ... I can only share this with you:
1261 As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them," allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.

i are not getting it. Stem cells do no longer come from babies. they are undifferentiated cells, which ability they have not yet grew to become right into a outstanding cellular (i.e. they are not livers/hearts/skin or something). they are able to't sense discomfort as a results of fact they have not any discomfort receptors. they are purely clusters of single cells. they do no longer look to be going to hell. they are able to't be baptized. They stay in a small dish. They have been in no way component to a infant. in actuality, you won't be able to even assure that they might have become babies had they been allowed to improve. this question is thoroughly illogical.

A stem cell isn't a human being.

Thank goodness for Limbo. They can join their friends, the fertilized eggs that wind up on sanitary napkins.

Scripture says "teaching and baptizing". If one has not made the choice to follow YAHOSHUA (and there is no other name...) Then they won't.

And who has to do the yucky job of baptizing stem cells?
Should we do the umbilical cords, too?
Bleah...

Oh, Hell, certainly. Those poor clumps of 150 calls or so. They couldn't be purged of their original sin!
