Japanese scientists have succeeded in creating embryonic stem cells without using embryos.
The bio-team from Kyoto University announced their discovery on 20th. Nov, 2007 along with another team from the University of Wisconsin in the U.S. who’d made the same breakthough during separate research.

Blood loss is one of the leading causes of death on the battlefield, but war-zone medics often find it difficult to receive the training to prevent those deaths.
Today they can “save” a life-sized arm developed by the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Simulation and Training that simulates “bleeding.”
Researchers there have developed the arm in conjunction with the U.S. Army’s Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) and Chi Systems. On Tuesday, they demonstrated how it works during the nation’s largest exhibition of modeling, simulation and related technologies at Orange County Convention Center.
