Let us take a long journey down an analogous path: Consider embryonic stem cells to be baby human, and adult stem cells are an adult human.
And let's say the human body (where the stem cell transplant will take place) is analogous to dictatorship-run society. I choose a dictatorship because has its own strict set of current ideals and cultures, under the control of "the man", and may allow immigration but expectedly, they must perform under the rules and regulations provided to them. A) As a baby transplanted, he will assimilate into the country very easily, and likely develop similar cultures to his surroundings, such as whatever rap music, weed, and Kennedy Fried Chicken is available. He will go to whatever school is available to him. If there isn't one, he likely will not. Basically, he will grow up like you and I grew up - if you were born in America. For example, if it was Venezuela, he will likely idolize Hugo Chavez and listen to him talk on the TV every Friday night. As he grows up, he may change his ideals to match those of his ancestors. He may start to learn about his family. His past, his history, the history before him. He may start to dislike everything about himself and his surroundings. He may become a little irate. He may become a cancer to his current society. He may become cancer. B)As an adult transplanted to this dictator-ship (and for argument's sake, the adult is from India), he will not easily accept change in his life. He will likely bring over his current and past set of ideals. His past memories. If it were Venezuela, he will likely be less willing to listen to Hugo Chavez on TV, or if it were America, less interested in watching American Idol, or if it were France, may want to work more than 35 hours per week. And in each instance, the adult will be viewed upon as 'different' in society. He may be rejected by the society of a dictatorship. He may be rejected.
