DAYS OF NOAH: Fears raised over human cloning
The research institute combined two types of stem cells to create a viable embryo, which could then be replicated multiple times. Amazingly, it means the researchers didn’t use either an egg or sperm to create the very beginning of human life. The embryos the lab has made will be used for medical testing, specifically to figure out why embryos fail to implant in women’s wombs. The experiment was carried out by scientists from the MERLN Institute at Maastricht University and the Hubrecht Institute (KNAW) in the Netherlands. Lead researcher, Professor Nicolas Rivron of Maastricht University, said: “As you know, embryos are very precious, and it is impossible to use to test drugs on them as you don’t have the numbers.
