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.

Well my family and I just came back from the Harry Potter movie .....

It was ok -- didn't feel like my $6.50 per ticket price was wasted or anything. I wasn't bored but I wasn't excited either. My kids weren't exactly raving about it either, nor did it seem like anyones else's kids were going bonkers over it.

I dunno .... as soon as I get the feeling I'm watching something that tries to glorify British upper class delusional self image -- you know -- everyone in England goes to Oxford and has tea and crumpets with the Queen -- I go negative. What can I say ? lol
