Correction: Pope-SKorea Stem Cells Story By The Associated Press - 3 hours ago VATICAN CITY (AP) - In an Oct. 11 story about papal reaction to embryonic stem cell research in South Korea, The Associated Press erroneously described a type of stem-cell research supported by Pope Benedict XVI. Benedict said he supported and encouraged "somatic stem-cell research," also known as adult stem-cell research, which involves stem cells that are not derived from embryos. The pope did not say he supported somatic cell nuclear transfer, also known as "therapeutic cloning," which uses human eggs specifically for research from which stem cells are harvested. The Vatican opposes such research.
