"Research reported this week by three different groups shows that normal skin cells can be reprogrammed to an embryonic state in mice. The race is now on to apply the surprisingly straightforward procedure to human cells."

A serious step towards something very very incredible. Assuming the process gets mastered in humans, I'd assume that opposition to the process would be minimal (hopefully).
