Stem Cell "Advance" Update

Remember the widely-heralded announcement this past August of new stem cell research technology that would permit the development of stem cell lines by extraction of one cell from embryo's at an early stage of development, with no harm to the embryo?  Well, Michael Fumento of the Hudson Institute reports that it was all a fraud.  He writes, "In fact none of the 16 embryos involved in the study by medical director Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) survived. All were harmed; none were viable; none were spared." 

Did I miss something?  I know I've been busy lately, but I can't recall seeing anything about this in the same media outlets that reported how this development would remove the principal objections to stem cell research.
