One of the resulting embryos grew to the 64-cell stage, Panos Zavos of the Andrology Institute of America claimed at a press conference in London on Tuesday. Studying the hybrid embryos will help pave the way for creating cloned babies using human eggs, Zavos says.
Cows have been cloned from two-day-old hunks of beef, so it might be possible to clone people using cells from corpses. Also, several groups have created cloned embryos by fusing…
