>>With the new news of their research breakthrough in stem cell research which allows for stem cell cultivating without destroing embryos, should we be lookin at this company more?<<

That was no research breakthrough. All they did was put together two standard techniques which have been used for many years: pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and the growing of a line of embryonic stem cells from one cell.

The only purpose for this silly exercise is to grow a line of ESCs from a fertilized egg w/o eliminating the chance of generating a baby from the same egg. But since the lines of ESCs presently produced all come from spare fertilized eggs which are going to be thrown away otherwise - not used to produce babies - it is a mindless charade that only a religious fanatic could love.

West already jumped ship; ACT will probably go bust.
