This is wonderful news for the many women who are currently forced to carry someone else's child via in-vitro fertilization if they want a child. Hopefully they'll be able to have a child that is biologically theirs in a reasonable timeframe as further developments occur.

By "theirs" do you mean a clone of themself? That's a pretty weird prospect to me. I don't see how cloning could be used to create an embryo that shares only one set of chromosomes. If the woman's eggs are still viable, it seems like regular IVF could be used. Or am I misunderstanding your point?

An identical twin is a clone. Do you have anything against identical twins?

Not many sets of identical twins have one of the twins be the mother of the other twin. That's the weird part.
