The new method could allow scientists to create stem cells using a patient's own skin cells, eliminating the possibility of rejection...

Because stem cells from donated embryos would not be genetically matched to the patients who need them, in practice, treating a patient with a spinal cord injury or diabetes who could benefit from the cells would create the serious possibility of immune rejection...
