[snip] the team has taken cells from 16 spare IVF human embryos, and put them into culture. From a total of 91 cells, the researchers grew two embryonic stem-cell lines that have survived for eight months so far and are able to form different types of tissue.
The authors suggest this new protocol should address the ethical issues surrounding the use of embryos in stem cell research. An article from the Washington Post quotes White House officials saying however, that, "Any use of human embryos for research purposes raises serious ethical concerns... The President is hopeful that with time scientists can find ways of deriving cells like those now derived from human embryos but without the need for using embryos."
For further reading, refer to the Washington Post (which also features an AP video), Nature News, and the Nature manuscript.

"the critics state that a human could theoretically be created from the single cell that is removed from the embryo; therefore the procedure still terminates human life"
