Was created in an attempt to create stem cells for patients by U.S. scientists clone embryo of two men, reports the BBC. Scientists extracted DNA from a human egg cell and the DNA of skin cells from two subjects. You have created an embryo corresponding male genetic material, go no further procurement of stem cells. Thereafter, a group of researchers from five of these embryos produced 25 eggs. A DNA fingerprint was found that at least one of them is a clone. Team Stemagen Corporation of California believes that the study is an important step in the development of the production of embryonic stem cells for patients. Dr. Samuel Wood, who led the study, said that they are the first in the world, in fact, confirmed the possibility of the creation of embryos from human cells. Many scientists believe that the creation of stem cells obtained from an individual, may serve to prevent many serious diseases. According to Professor Jack Price from Kings College, London, this process is based on technological progress and shows the approach of the use of human embryos in the long term, which justifies the need for further research.
