Oregon Scientists Use Monkey Clones to Extract Stem Cells

Researchers in Oregon are reporting that they used cloning to produce monkey embryos and then extracted stem cells from the embryos.
Not only is this the first time such cells have been produced in any animal other than a mouse, but the method, the researchers say, should also work in humans. In 2004, South Korean researchers reported making stem cells from cloned human embryos, but the claim turned out fraudulent.
