Without Destroying Embryos
...A new technique has surfaced to create stem cells from embryos without destroying the embryos. Read more about it.

...Now new research has shown that stem cells can be cultivated from cells split off from developing embryos without impacting the embryo itself.

..."If confirmed, the new technique would allow researchers to create and experiment with stem cells while avoiding ethical concerns as individual blastomeres, or their multicellular derivatives, have never been shown to be capable of generating a complete organism. And numerous studies have shown that this genetic testing technique has little impact on the survival rate of embryos. In fact, the single cells used in such testing routinely today could, in the future, grow stem cells for the resulting children, and humanity." --David Biello
