Summary:

July 11 - KGO - Scientists have found a new use for embryonic stem cells. Researchers say they've achieved promising results to create artificial sperm. But the new findings come just as the debate over stem cell research heats up on Capitol Hill.

Imagine eliminating the need for men in the process of human reproduction. That's what critics of this research are worried about happening. But researchers hope it could help treat the problem of male infertility.

Commentary: This research seems promising in its potential to develop new types of fertility treatments.
