...therapeutic cloning, which destroys embryos consisting of no more than a few cells, is a fundamentally different process from abortion. Therapeutic cloning happens in the lab, not in the womb. Whereas opponents of stem cell research see life in a few cells smeared in a petri dish, we see the millions of human lives which will be saved through stem cell treatments—even if these treatments only live up to the most conservative hopes of researchers...

...bursts of electricity to fuse together the donor material and egg. Nourished in dishes, 30 of the hybrid eggs developed into blastocysts--balls of hundreds of cells that represent one of the earliest stages of fetal development. When couples undergo in-vitro fertilization, a blastocyst successfully implanted in the womb has a very good chance of becoming a baby...
