"The technique differs from therapeutic cloning, which is to make a ``stem cell'' that can be guided to grow into a specific body part. Former Seoul National University professor Hwang Woo-suk used this method in his human stem cell cloning research, which was later found to have used fabricated data."
By the way that's worded you would think researchers are cloning just stem cells. The truth is, therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning both clone a new organism which is killed for targeted stem cells if therapeutic cloning is the goal, or the clone ORGANISM is implanted in life sustaining tissue and grown to birth age if reprodcutive cloning is the goal. I'm waiting to read any day now that scientists have succeeded in implanting a cat or dog embryo(s) in a pig and brought the process through to live birth. Two guesses what will follow such a sucess. ... And one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination approves of using 'leftover embryos' at IVF clinics for research programs. The term 'pro-life' is itself now on the slippery slope.

Thanks for the ping!
