In vitro, no one can hear you scream...

Drudge: Adult cells in mice shown to mimic embryonic stem cells...

German scientists said on Friday they had isolated sperm-producing stem cells that have similar properties to embryonic stem cells from adult mice.

If the same type of cells in humans show similar qualities the researchers from the Georg-August-University of Goettingen believe they could be used in stem cell research which would remove the ethical dilemma associated with stem cells derived from human embryos.

Does this mean an end to the horror of harvesting humans? I doubt it.
