ANT produces cells that have the same power and potential as embryonic stem cells but that do not have the same essential properties of the fertilized embryo. So ANT neither creates nor destroys human embryos. Further exploration of this project has been endorsed by leading moral philosophers and religious authorities as well as the President's Council on Bioethics...
