Scientists create human embryos genetically identical to living people for stem cell research

Scientists create human embryos genetically identical to living people for stem cell research The passage describes a scientific breakthrough in cloning human embryos for stem cell lines. It does not implicate any high‑ranking officials, financial transactions, or illicit activity, and the information is already publicly reported in the journal Cell. The lead is of low investigative value and low controversy beyond standard bio‑ethics debate. Key insights: Human embryos cloned from adult skin cells were created and used to derive stem cells.; Technique used: somatic cell nuclear transfer with donor eggs and electrical stimulation.; Research conducted by OHSU biologist Shoukhrat Mitalipov and a team of 23 scientists.
