...that parthenogenetic stem cells have been discovered, will we finally begin to see the kind of individualized treatments - for diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and spinal cord injuries - that science has promised? Probably not. Although parthenogenesis is easier to achieve than nuclear transfer - about 20% of the time, eggs can be stimulated to divide on their own, compared to a 3%-5% development rate for nuclear transfer embryos - parthenogenesis still requires a steady supply of good quality human eggs. These are notoriously difficult to obtain, so the technique won't likely revolutionize medicine yet. But, suggests Daley, it could...
