This research proves that it would be possible to produce viable human offspring from non-reproductive cells such as skin or muscle cells.

I was being sarcastic, and this research doesn't prove anything about humans, only about mice.

I was being facetious earlier, playing on the “brave, new world” theme, but the last time I checked, most biological experimentation models rely heavily on studies and experiments performed on mice. Humans have no genetic barrier significant enough to make it impossible for these mice-based experiments to be extended onto human subjects. In other words, these mice experiments are the stepping stones which will eventually lead to human experimentation, if it has not already done so.
