It's all about presumed innocence. They think stem cells are people, and people of the holiest sort: they haven't even begun to differentiate into cells that they can "sin" with. Whereas the living people the cells could save have been walking around being naughty for years or (usually) decades.

Same with torture. The administration assumes that accusation is proof of guilt. Heck, it assumes ethnic backround is proof of guilt. Guilt, then, justifies the destruction of naughty people in order to protect Shiny Americans (TM).
