Summary:
Newsweek covers a new study that may change the ethical debate over embryonic stem cell research:
"Four papers published on June 5 may help scientists clear both those hurdles. Researchers at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The University of California-Los Angeles and Kyoto University reported in three papers that a new technique had bestowed all the powerful transformative properties of embryonic stem cells on older, more differentiated cells from adult mice. The fourth paper, meanwhile, opens up the possibility of a new and fairly large source of cells—one that won't require women to go through the painful process of egg donation purely for research."
