The UK's Royal Society presented a report (Stem cell research and therapeutic cloning) to members of parliament on 7 November, backing continued research into the use of cloned embryonic stem cells to treat serious injuries and degenerative diseases. The technique, referred to as 'therapeutic cloning', would involve adding the nucleus of a patient's cell to an enucleated egg, and allowing development up to the embryonic stage. The resultant stem cells could then be tailored to treat the relevant disease or injury.
