Put another notch in the belt of non-embryo-killing stem cell research! Now we can grow mini-livers - that'll be helpful in several avenues of medical application!
Adult and cord blood stem cells show a lot of promise - pretty nifty!!! They've already helped with skin grafts, eye problems, nerve problems, and bone regrowth, and they do all this without introducing the moral dilemma of whether we're destroying a human life. I can't help but wonder whether (karmic balance and all?) that's precisely why these stem cells work, rather than growing hairy, toothy tumors like embryonic cells tend to do...
