New lines of cells may be formed from embryos slated for destruction, but I see nothing about creating them for such a purpose.
"But the research is controversial because days-old embryos must be destroyed to obtain the cells. They typically are culled from fertility-clinic leftovers otherwise destined to be thrown away. "
So what would be a non-typical method of obtaining embryos for research?
The 1987 Amendment to the Infertility (Medical Procedures) Act (Vic) allows the creation of embryos specifically for research purposes, as long as the proposed experiment takes place within 24 hours.
