pioneered as he tries to find ways of curing serious medical
conditions. He believes a rival method developed in Japan offers a
better way to grow a patient's own cells and tissues for treating a
range of ailments, including strokes, heart attacks and Parkinson's
disease.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/pioneer-says-new-path-is-better-than-cloning/2007/11/17/1194767020446.html"><P>Crucially, unlike current stem cell research, the new technique
does not require human embryos. For the past 10 years, scientists
have endured fierce criticism from religious groups and pro-life
campaigners because of their need to use embryos to create stem
cells, the body's building blocks for repair and growth.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1213E4F3-A8C9-4387-AE3C-BEAD2B93B756/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
