BY LifeSiteNews.com LONDON, August 13, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - British researchers have created human embryonic stem cells for the first time in that country, using an embryo “originally created as part of a course of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment,” the BBC reports. The development underlines the connection between IVF and those practices seen as more controversial such as human embryo experimentation.  Researchers at King’s College, London, will donate the stems cell lines to a European stem cell bank based in Hertfordshire, England, for use by other researchers. “This way we can maximise the number of researchers but minimise the number of embryos used for this purpose,” said Dr. Peter Braude, who directed the project.  For BBC coverage:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3144925.stm http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/british-scientists-create-first-human-embryonic-stem-cells/
