Slashdot | Scientists Create New Human Embryonic Stem Cell: "'U.S. scientists were successful in creating a new human embryonic stem cell. From source, 'U.S. researchers said on Monday they have created a new human embryonic stem cell by fusing an embryonic stem cell to an ordinary skin cell. They hope their method could someday provide a way to create tailor-made medical treatments without having to start from scratch using cloning technology. That would mean generating the valuable cells without using a human egg, and without creating a human embryo, which some people, including President George W. Bush, find objectionable. ''"
