Study finds cloned embryos share genetic traits with natural cells
(NEWSER) - Human cloning, for medicine or even reproduction, may be more realistic than ever, Wired reports. Researchers found genetic characteristics similar to normal human embryos in cloned human embryos. The findings are a first step toward therapeutic cloning, in which embryonic stem cells that can replace failing tissues are grown from a patient’s own DNA. Theoretically, the technique could produce a full human clone. More»
