The experimental research combined two types of stem cells and created a viable embryo – which the team say would provide an unlimited stock for medical research.
The created embryos would also be used for medical treatment testing and help shed light on one of the biggest infertility enigmas - why embryos fail to implant in the womb.
However critics say it is a huge step towards human cloning.
The researchers believe the wonder creation could see mice being cloned in three years time, and humans two decades later.

A brave new world.
We must be close to the end.
” combined two types of stem cells “
That’s not “from nothing”.
Try starting with just chemicals and go from there.
Scientists will think they are God. And then The End will come.
Viable embryos are humans.
I keep telling this to my children in college, whenever the biologists say “created” look at the precursors they used.
All of them have a pre-existing biological component.
Life comes from life.
I was going to say, they actually started with quite a bit of something.
None the less, we’re letting Genie’s out of the bottle I’d prefer were kept in that bottle.
Sounds to me like they created life from life.
Make your own elements, to make the chemicals.
We must be close to the end.
” combined two types of stem cells “
That’s not “from nothing”.
...
Yep. The title couldn’t be more wrong.
Scientists will think they are God.
...
Maybe they just think they were created in God’s image.
“.....scientists CREATE LIFE from ‘nothing’”
They had their own dirt?
“Try starting with just chemicals and go from there.”
And just who created all chemicals? Hmmmm?
However, long before society reaches the stage of fully implemented AI, elective procedures involving applied gene therapies will be commonplace. The market for modifications/improvements in cognitive abilities, beauty and attractiveness will explode.
Humanity isn't going to become more diverse, rather it will consolidate around universally acknowledged standards of beauty and intelligence. There will be of course conflicts, as Eloi try to retain power by creating an opposing race of Morlocks, and let us not neglect the MIC aspects, but Pandora's box was opened long ago.
When it is discovered just how simple the brain really is, with perhaps a few key gene expressions controlling most of the cognitive processing, the resulting synthetic applications on the converging CPU side will eventually create a singularity.
Intelligence is not physical.
Clonus the parts horror.
Humans can not make something from nothing. How can you create something from nothing? Only a supreme being can do that and scientists are not supreme beings.
“Get your own dirt.”
Noooo, you have to make your own chemicals from nothing as well...
