South Korea Makes Advances in Stem Cell Research, While USA Lags Farther Behind.... |
Remember when China send a fleet all the way to Africa decades before
Columbus, and then all of a sudden decided to shut utself off and
foresake all further exploration? Yeah, it's like that. How will
historians centuries from now explain how the US surrendered its
scientific edge for next to nothing?

In what scientists say is a stunning leap forward, a team of South
Korean researchers has developed a highly efficient recipe for
producing human embryos by cloning and then extracting their stem
cells. Writing today in the journal Science, they report that they
used their method to produce 11 human stem cells lines that are
genetic matches of patients aged 2 to 56.
.. . . "It is a tremendous advance," said Dr. Leonard Zon, a stem cell
researcher at Harvard Medical School and president of the
International Society for Stem Cell Research, who was not involved in
the research. . . . Dr. Solter added, it now looks like it is much
more efficient to clone and obtain human stem cells than it is to do
the same experiment in animals.
