Summary:
Bloomberg News reports researchers successfully cloned human embryos using DNA from adult skin cells:
"Five human embryos were cloned using donated DNA from skin cells, a technique that may lead to treatments based on patients' own stem cells. Researchers said the DNA came from the skin of two men, while three women donated eggs. The research, led by Andrew French, the chief science officer of the closely held biotechnology company Stemagen Corp., is detailed in a report published today by the journal Stem Cells."
