People often react with horror at the idea of human cloning, yet 3 in 1,000 babies born are identical twins.
Send in the clones and the bioethicists
But the truth is you may already know a clone. Biologists have cloned human embryos to create stem cell colonies for the first time, raising concerns about "clone" babies someday becoming possible.
Cloning stem cells: What does it mean?

New Ways Of Generating Stem Cells For Patients With Dysfunctional Or Damaged Tissues And Organs
Somatic cell nuclear transfer is a technique in which the nucleus of a donor cell is transferred to an egg cell whose nucleus has been removed, generating embryos that are almost an identical genetic match to the donor individual.
What the Oregon cloning researchers reported this week was that they had cloned embryos and then destroyed those embryos to create embryonic stem cells.

It depends on who you ask . Earlier this week, researchers announced that they'd successfully turned adult skin cells into embryonic stem cells.
Research breakthrough could reignite cloning debate
Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University announced this week that they'd made a discovery 50 years in the making by using a cloning technique to create embryonic stem cells.
Stem-cell-based strategy boosts immune system in mice
The researchers showed that, in mice, the tissue can be used to foster the development of white blood cells the body needs to mount healthy immune responses and to prevent harmful autoimmune reactions.
Now the beauty of stem cells is only skin deep
A new stem cell technique could regrow organs that the body will not reject and is an important step towards a cure for diseases such as Alzheimer's.
