Australian scientists have begun research on a new type of stem cell that doesn't require human embryos.
They are experimenting with stem cells from adults, hoping to make them act more like embryonic cells.
Melbourne-based scientist, Dr Andrew Laslett, says he hopes they can be used to produce blood.
"What's different about these cells from human embryonic stem cells, is that they are created not from embryos but from skin cells for example, or adult cells from the human body," he said.
"It's a really exciting new area of research."
