Internationalen Forschungsteams ist es erstmals gelungen, ein menschliches Embryonen-Modell aus Stammzellen herzustellen. Welche Möglichkeiten ergeben sich dadurch für die Wissenschaft und was könnte sich in Deutschland ändern, wo die Embryonenforschung verboten ist?

Offenbar wurden erstmals menschliche Embryonen im Labor gezüchtet. Droht nun der Weltuntergang oder ist es ein Hoffnungsschimmer? Kollege Rainer Kurlemann ordnet die Erkenntnisse @riffreporter in gewohnt informativer Weise für euch ein.
