It's helpful because at least now, scientists don't have to deal with ethical complications brought about by experiments with embryos.Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559532334516879367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9589396.post-66169879897793608452007-11-27T08:43:00.000+08:002007-11-27T08:43:00.000+08:00One thing that bothers me with this breakthrough ...One thing that bothers me with this breakthrough is if these stem cells are embryonic. Embryonic, as in they could be implanted in a viable uterus and made to grow into a clone. Now that would lead to another spectacular debate show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
