Scientists have created the first artificial embryonic stem cells from two endangered species, a breakthrough that could potentially save animals in danger of extinction.

With only two female northern white rhinos left on Earth, and facing imminent extinction, it's no wonder these species don't feel so randy. But things are looking up, as scientists are hoping to use stem cell, rather than sex, to extend a lifeline to the dying breed.
