Human cloning has been used to produce early embryos marking a “significant step” for medicine say US scientists.
The cloned embryos were used as a source of stem cells which can make new heart muscle, bone, brain tissue or any other type of cell in the body.
The study published in the journal cell used methods like those that produced Dolly the sheep in the UK.
However researchers say other sources of stem cells may be easier, cheaper and less controversial.
So cloned human embryos aye or neigh?
