Summary:
Two American research teams, one on each coast, said Tuesday they were trying to clone human embryos, then extract stem cells genetically matched to patients.
Scientists at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and the University of California at San Francisco said their goal was to create embryonic stem-cell colonies to model certain diseases. That could lead to stem-cell therapies, perhaps a decade or more from now.
Commentary: Hopefully these experiments will advance the field of stem cell research to a point that will enable the development of treatments for diseases, injuries and conditions.
