"Researchers have created the world's first "synthetic embryos" in a groundbreaking feat that bypassed the need for sperm, eggs and fertilizations.

Known as synthetic embryos because they are created without fertilized eggs, the living structures are expected, in the near term, to drive deeper understanding of how organs and tissues form during the development of natural embryos.

But researchers believe the work could also reduce animal experimentation and ultimately pave the way for new sources of cells and tissues for human transplantation.

For example, skin cells from a leukemia patient could potentially be transformed into bone marrow stem cells to treat their condition."

Would they count on cell phone plans?
