An alternative approach would be to use parthenogenesis, the term that's applied to an egg that activates spontaneously on its own. It is common for eggs to activate and often form cysts or benign tumors in the ovary. When the activated eggs begin to divide, they look like early embryos and form blastocysts with stem cells inside. A young woman with Type 1 [[diabetes]] could donate her eggs, which could be activated in the laboratory without being fertilized. Her own stem cells, gathered when the eggs develop to the blastocyst stage, could be used to treat her Type 1 diabetes.

Stem cells developed from an unfertilized monkey egg that went through parthenogenesis are being used to treat [[Parkinson's disease]] in [[monkey]]s. This line has proven to be as robust as stem cells from human eggs.
