Rejection is only an issue if you are seeking pregnancy. That's important for a fertility clinic, but the stem cell researcher wouldn't care. Right?

I'm > getting a headache. I dunno man. Ex-vitro fertilization already does this. The difference is, the eggs are reimplanted with the hope of uteral attachment and pregnancy. Stem cell folks say take these eggs and instead harvest the stem cells for research. So the SCNT can be used for stem cell research, but you can't take the fertilized eggs and run off and create people with them.....unless you put em back in the mom?? *head scratch* On 10/26/06, G Money <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Think it just means you can't say "Hey, i want to do some stem cell > > research, lets create some embryos!"
