Virgin conception' first for UK
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4228992.stm
Quote:
Human embryos created using a so-called "virgin conception" technique have been made in the UK for the first time.
The Roslin Institute, which also cloned Dolly the sheep, reported the so-called parthenotes at a Dublin conference.
They are made by stimulating a human egg to start dividing like an embryo without the addition of any genetic material from a male sperm cell.
