• That's really what this kind of cloning is about. "Our intention is not to clone human beings," insists ACT medical director Dr. [Robert Lanza]. Instead, the company's goal is to make embryonic stem cells, the socalled starter cells that can turn into any sort of body tissue, from brain to bone to blood. In theory, stem cells might be used to treat any disease in which cell death is a factor: diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, paralysis, stroke and more.
