First Cloned Stem Cells

Human embryonic stem cells have been created recently from a process similar to cloning. THese stem cells can be used for treating Parkinson's disease and other similar diseases. The nice thing about the stem cells is that they are made from cloned embryos matched with the patients so they are not rejected. The stem cells still need a lot of work done on them after they're created and before they can be used for therapies. The difficulty that this cloning has shown indicated that full human cloning will not be possible for a long time to come.
