 |

From BBC News:
| Quote: |
US scientists say they have produced embryos that are clones of two men, in an attempt to produce patient-specific stem cells.
Researchers removed DNA from donated human eggs, and replaced it with DNA from the skin cells of two volunteers.
They produced embryos with genetic material that matched the men's, but did not go on to extract stem cells.
The group produced five embryos called blastocysts from 25 donated eggs. DNA fingerprinting proved that at least one of these was a clone.
"We're the first in the world to take adult human cells and then document that in fact we were able to clone embryos from them," lead researcher Dr Samuel Wood told the BBC.

| I'm a little uneasy about this whole idea...I can't quite put my finger on why, but it just seems wrong. |

Yeah, it is a different way of getting embryonic stem cells, but I'm with Nes that it is rather creepy. |

| About damn time, we could all live wonderful utopian lives if each of us owned clone slaves. They can do all of societies work while we enjoy life without the stress of jobs. |
