In a provocative experiment, researchers said Wednesday they had used a cloning technique to create early-stage human embryos that were partial copies of the patients from which they were derived.
The experiment, published in the journal Nature, is part of a larger quest to make fresh, patient-specific stem cells and treat many difficult diseases. It created 13 cloned early-stage human embryos that were partial clones of diabetic patients. Each embryo carried three sets of chromosomes -- an extra set -- which means they were abnormal and would not have been viable if implanted in a womb and carried to term.
