Embryos preserved in stem-cell creation
Scientists yesterday reported that they have devised a way to create human embryonic stem cells that does not harm embryos. Cell extraction was criticized on moral grounds by Richard M. Doerflinger, deputy director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities. “It is widely believed that one cell of a very early embryo may separate and become a new embryo, an identical twin,” he said yesterday.

In New Method for Stem Cells, Viable Embryos
Biologists have developed a technique for establishing colonies of human embryonic stem cells from an early human embryo without destroying it. This method, if confirmed in other laboratories, would seem to remove the principal objection to the research.

Science’s stem-cell scam - Washington Times
July 22, 2006 Washington Times Commentary by Michael Fumento.
“Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) receive tremendous media attention, with oft-repeated claims they have the potential to cure virtually every disease known. Yet there are spoilsports, myself included, who point out ESCs have yet to even make it into a human clinical trial. This is even as alternatives — adult stem cells (ASCs) from numerous places in the body as well as umbilical cord blood and placenta — are curing diseases here and now and have been doing so for decades. And that makes ESC advocates very, very angry.”
