Stem Cell Research Bills: Not This Year
It looks like any change in US administration policy on stem cell research will have to wait until 2005 (or at least until after the November presidential election). As noted at Boston.com, political obstacles are being thrown in the way of any formal house and senate debate on this issue. However, "the Reagan death really kind of catapulted the whole thing back into the spotlight. They're under tremendous pressure." A good thing too: blocking research and threatening criminalization of medicine is simply wrong. It is costing lives. If you support this research, now would be a good time to write to your representatives about stem cells and therapeutic cloning.
