U.S. Company Says It Cloned Human Embryo for Cells Nov 25 10:07am ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. company said on Sunday it had cloned a human embryo, in a breakthrough experiment aimed not at creating a human being but at mining the embryo for stem cells used to treat disease. The company, Advanced Cell Technology Inc., based in Worcester, Massachusetts, said it had for the first time used cloning technology to grow a tiny ball of cells that could then be used as a source of stem cells. Stem cells are a kind of master cell that can grow into any kind of cell in the body. "This is indeed a milestone in therapeutic cloning," Mary Ann Liebert, publisher of the online journal E-biomed, which carried the report, said in a statement. "These preliminary results, which add to the weight of evidence that human cell reprogramming is possible, are very significant given the importance of the growing field of regenerative medicine." Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer money in the cloning of human beings but Advanced Cell Technologies is a privately funded company and can do as it pleases. siliconinvestor.com
