Two embryonic stem cell studies in mice are receiving wide media attention today, because embryonic-like stem cells have been derived reportedly without killing embryos. In one study, a single cell was removed from an eight-cell mouse embryo. That one cell was developed into embryonic-like stem cells, while the remaining embryo was implanted and developed to term. However, it is not clear what effect this would have on children who are born after having had one of their cells removed while still an early embryo.Read more . . .
Better to continue research utilizing ethical means of obtaining stem cells such as cord blood and bone marrow.
