Scientists have grown an entity very close to a human embryo — without using sperm, eggs or a womb.
The embryo even released enough of the hormone pregnant women produce that turns a pregnancy test positive, resulting in a positive test result in the lab.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel made the complete models of human embryos from stem cells generated in the lab after building on previous research where they had made mouse embryos.
The researchers' aim is to be able to ethically study what happens in the very early stages of a pregnancy without experimenting with real human embryos. The model cannot developed by the team is a cluster of cells that cannot grow into a person.
Professor Jacob Hanna, who led the research team, said: 'The drama is in the first month; the remaining eight months of pregnancy are mainly lots of growth.'

Is that the same as this from June, or something more advanced?

It must be something different. This study says it was published today.

I didn't mean it like that! I just wondered if it mentioned any progress within the past few months, because I was too lazy to read the new article. I'm looking at it now and I see that the headline mentions a pregnancy test testing positive.
