That's how a report in the journal Science sounded last week--at least at first blush. Woo Suk Hwang and Dr. Shin Yong Moon, from Korea's Seoul National University, announced that they had created more than 200 embryos by cloning mature human cells and had grown 30 of them to the blastocyst stage of development, each more than 100 cells strong. This isn't the first time cloned human embryos have been produced: in 2001 the Massachusetts biotech firm Advanced Cell Technology made several. They all died quickly, but in a sense the first cloned human cells...
Last Thursday, South Korean scientists Dr. Woo Suk Huang and Dr. Shin Young Moon became the first to extract a line of stem cells from a cloned human embryo, clearing the first hurdle towards therapeutic cloning—a method aimed at treating diseases rather than making babies...
...Hwang's dedication to humans is something of a mid-career switch. A trained veterinarian, Hwang teamed up with gynecologist Dr. Moon Shin Yong, a gynecologist and leading fertility expert, after Dolly the sheep was cloned in Scotland in 1996. Part of the work was aimed at creating better livestock: in 1999 they cloned a high-yielding dairy cow in Korea, and last December they announced the successful cloning of a cow resistant to mad-cow disease. But they were also looking at how cloning could benefit humans. Their team has cloned miniature pigs whose organs could potentially be used...
