Mischaracterizations and outright lies have been a steady diet from this 'industry' ... but the public is generally easily manipulated so the lies continue. Lanza'a mischaracterization doesn't surprise me. But thanks for the solitary ping ...

I don't think you read this right or read the article either. I read the article. Lanza says that the experiments were repeatedly done on the same embryo to remove multiple cells, which in essence destroys the embryo. So Lanza did not lie. The editor screwed up in the press release by overstating the results of the article.
It strikes me as Nature's mischaracterization in the press release, not Lanza's. I haven't read the original article in Nature or its press release, just the lay press. I wonder if the Nature author of the press release just looked at the abstract.
