New Stem Cell Method Avoids Destroying Embryos

New Stem Cell Method Avoids Destroying Embryos - New York Times: "Biologists have developed a technique for establishing colonies of human embryonic stem cells without destroying embryos, a method that, if confirmed in other laboratories, would seem to remove the principal objection to stem cell research.

'There is no rational reason left to oppose this research,' said Dr. Robert Lanza, vice president of Advanced Cell Technology and leader of a team that reported the new method in an article in today’s Nature."
