Recent advances in our understanding of pluripotent stem cells have paved way for the creation of embryonic stem cell like cells from Fibroblasts and other cell types. Congradulations to everyone involved in these efforts!!! The question is although these cells seem to be forming teratomas, are they really like embryonic stem cells in every aspect?

No, they are highly similar but not identical in some or more aspects.
