The ability to derive embryonic stem cells from cloned human embryos and to control their differentiation into different cell types provides revolutionary new opportunities in biology and medicine. These methods make it possible to study human genetic diseases in entirely new ways and, in the longer term, such cells may be used in the treatment of human disease. Certainly this approach will provide opportunities that are not otherwise available.
