Journal stemceller's Journal: Stem Cell Research News 1
USA Today reports, "Researchers have been able to derive human stem cells from the amniotic fluid surrounding babies in the womb, potentially providing a source of stem cells that is easily available and uncontroversial. The amniotic stem cells grew readily into independent cell lines, or colonies, doubling in just 36 hours, the paper says. It was published in Sunday's edition of the journal Nature Biotechnology." This is a significant scientific advance in the field of stem cell research.

How is the debate going to change?
