First Cloned Human Embryo

Posted by timothy on from the pregnant-moment dept.

Human cloning, or at least the production of human embryos, is no longer hypothetical; a company called Advanced Cell Technology claims to have successfully done just that. DivideX0 writes: "The Scientific American has this article. Note the research was conducted in the U.S. although there are bills pending in Washington that will ban this research." There's also a story at MSNBC. Update: 11/25 16:07 GMT by T : Here's ACT's press release as well.

    It's Sunday morning. All the people up and moderating at this hour can be placed into a specific category : white, male, Christian, angry because their wife is taking too long getting ready for church.

  7. Why it is called trolling. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The moderators believe that any view different from their own is a "troll"; that no one could believe it. Never mind that most Americans think that cloning should be regulated.

    Nice try. If you'd bothered to read what he said, you'd realize that a Bible-thumper would be likely to moderate him up.

    So, you're telling me with all of the people going hungry, our lack of ability to deal with population control (even in the US), our lack of ability to parent our children, and with thousands of children WITHOUT parents in orphanages(sic), that we need to start artifically making them?
