Summary:
Harvard scientists announced yesterday that they are attempting to create the first cloned human embryonic stem cells. The goal of the research, they said, is to create a powerful new tool to explore the biology of, and hopefully find treatments for, a number of devastating diseases: juvenile diabetes, genetic blood disorders, and ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Commentary: Hopefully this experiment will eventually lead to the development of patient-specific stem cells to treat diseases injuries and conditions.
