Did any of you notice this article in the New York Times (by Nicholas Wade
published June 6, 2007?
It's about "an easy-to-use technique for reprogramming a skin cell of a mouse
back to the embryonic state. It raises no serious moral problem, because it
creates embryonic-like stem cells without creating, harming or destroying human
lives at any stage."
"The new technique developed by Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University, depends
on inserting just four genes into a skin cell. These accomplish the same
programming task as the egg, or at least one very similar."
What do you think?
