Abstract
Generating human stem cells from a single cell recovered during preimplantation genetic diagnosis does not, in principle, harm the embryo. Can the approach be used in assisted reproductive technology programmes?
Elsewhere in this issue, Klimanskaya et al.1 report an exciting advance for the field of human embryonic stem (hES) cell biology. Readers may have a sense of déjà vu, however, for this paper first appeared as an online publication2 on 23 August.
