From CWNews:

Aug. 10 (CWNews.com) - Expensive beauty salons are promising women that they can erase facial wrinkles with injections of stem cells taken from human embryos, the London Daily Mail has reported.

Although there is no scientific proof that the treatment is effective, women are paying from £150 ($283) up to £20,000 ($37,775) to receive the stem-cell treatment in salons scattered around the world, an investigator report for the Daily Mail found. Although the treatment is illegal in England, women can obtain the treatment in unregulated clinics in several other countries.
