Check out the Scientific American article, then for more information, see the BSCRF article, “The History of the Dickey-Wicker Amendment” on the ban on federal funding of non-embryonic, parthenote stem cell research.
And also, see the BSCRF one-minute video, 
“What Are Parthenote Stem Cells?”
Thanks to your donations, Bedford Stem Cell Research Foundation is one of the few laboratories able to work on parthenote, non-embryonic, stem cell research.
