did you read the article? These ones I've posted and are referring to have nothing to do with embryos.

At the cutting edge of modern medicine, Seifalian and his team are focusing on growing replacement organs and body parts to order using a patient’s own cells. There would be no more waiting for donors or complex reconstruction – just a quick swap.


And because the organ is made from the patient’s own cells, the risk of rejection should, in theory, be eliminated
