British scientists want to begin experiments using stem cells from human embryos who are then killed to treat a serious eye problem. The process would be used to treat macular degeneration, a common cause of blindness among older people. According to a Times report in London, the team of British researchers have demonstrated that stem cells can prevent blindness in rats with a similar disease, and also successfully tested elements of the technology in pigs.
