Somerfrost,
I agree that science is moving very quickly.
The article shows that ethical concerns aren't a factor in this approach.
There is no "killing" of embryos to obtain these stem cells. They originate from skin cells. There is no cloning, though the implications may equally as important as Dolly.
Please reference the "possible abuse" from the article that causes you concern.
Respectfully,
