Stem-cell breakthrough could be used for human cloning

"Scientists have moved a step closer to the goal of creating stem cells perfectly matched to a patient’s DNA in order to treat diseases, they announced on Thursday, creating patient-specific cell lines out of the skin cells of two adult men."

In this article, the success and happiness of therapeutic cloning in adults were expressed. The article explained the future possibilities with the success as well as thorough background information on the history of stem cell research and the procedure.

In my opinion, I do not think this article was biased because it included views from scientists, global nations and the truth of the entire process. In addition, the scientists admit their low success rate in their experiments, revealing how after 15 years, scientists have finally generated two healthy embryos.
