Comment Embryos cloned in 1998 (Score 1) 316
A human embryo was first cloned in 1998, according to the Human Cloning Foundation, though development was halted after 12 days.
In November of this year, Dr. Severino Antinori claims a woman will bear a child "conceived" by cloning in January 2003, though no proof has been forthcoming from earlier, similar announcements by him.
However, it seems that Stanford will indeed be focusing more on stem cell cloning and research, rather than embryos entire. That doesn't mean other universities or organizations won't use this announcement as a stepping stone to researching embryonic cloning (for the purpose of "growing" cloned humans), though.
