Belgian Waffles Cloning

The AP is reporting that scientists from Ghent University in Belgium "have cloned human embryos for the first time using unripe eggs matured in a dish."

The researchers hope to use unripe eggs that aren't used for in-vitro fertilization because of their condition to clone human embryos for research.

Reuters reports that the cloned humans from the unripe eggs died at the 8-16 cell stage.

In other biotech news, Reuters is reporting English scientists are working to create sperm cells from embryonic stem cells.
