SCNT is a recent medical breakthrough that can use a patient's own cells and an unfertilized human egg to make embryonic stem cells that match the patient's genetic makeup. Embryonic stem cell research does not use or harm an embryo or fetus in a woman's uterus
Stem cells made with the SCNT process have the added advantage of being made with DNA from a patient's own cell - thus eliminating the need for a genetically matching donor and the problem of immune system rejection. Research and cures involving both SCNT and embryonic stem cells from leftover fertility clinic embryos are allowed under federal law and are being actively pursued in the US and many other countries. http://www.christopherreeve.org/site/c.geIMLPOpGjF/b.1029337/k.AC23/Stem_CellsSCNT.htm > 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.
