Buck,
No, they're not embryos. They only act like stem cells, not embryos.
They have zero chance of developing into a human.
And it greatly reduces the need for embryonic stem cells, and the
gratuitous celebrity condemnations of those who oppose embryonic
research.
good news all around, I think.

There is an interesting question here I think.
By genetic manipulation, skin cells are changed into stem cells that
act like embryonic stem cells.
Are they embryos?
