Editor's Note: The experiment was meant to show that stem cells could be developed with a single cell taken from an eight-cell embryo wiithout harming the embryo. In fact, as a corrected press release from Nature and other reports later made clear, all 16 embryos used in the study were destroyed because the scientists removed a total of 91 cells.
