ABC 7 / KGO-TV, San Francisco reports on a breakthrough in stem cell research that could eliminate the ethical controversy which has thus far surrounded the field:

"Of mice and medicine. Science makes a major advance in stem cell research by turning back the clock. They've taken adult cells in mice and turned them into the building blocks of life."

The report continues: "Scientists have succeeded in re-programming mature skin cells of mice into an embryonic state without cloning. Those cells were then successfully grown into mice. It's research that's now been replicated by several different independent laboratories."
