U.S. company says grows embryo-safe stem cells
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Researchers at a U.S. company trying to push the margins of stem cell research said on Friday they had grown human embryonic stem cells using a non-controversial method that did not harm the embryos.
They said they had grown several lines, or batches, of the cells using a single cell taken from an embryo, which they then froze unharmed.
"We generated three new lines," Dr. Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology Inc. told Reuters.
"These are first human embryonic cell lines in existence that didn't result from the destruction of an embryo."

Bet the righties will find a way to call this murder, too.
Excuse my rank ignorance, but would that not be cloning?
Wow, Cliff must be up to his eyebrows in in-laws.
I hear that doing a line of embryonic cells will give you a killer buzz.
Anon,
Hence the name SNOWflake babies.
Apologies. ; )
