The stem cell debate is growing in its dimensions
I don't know if you guys know about this, but the field of stem cell research is in a period of rapid growth, what with the recent approvals of INDs to start Phase I clinical studies. The biggest news recently was ACTC with their treatment for Stargardt's syndrome. This is becoming more pertinent, as well, since the recent injunction purporting that Obama's executive order violates the Dickey-Wicker amendment that prevents funding of new cell lines. It is currently being battled in Washington, as summed in the first paragraph from the next issue of The Economist

I just am loving how close we really are to seeing some of the first promising treatments in the areas of sight using stem cells (in America, at least). Do you think the opponents of stem cell research will ease if these trials are successful? What's your take on this whole field, oh great dispensers of Internet debate? |
The stem cell debate at GFF is dead. RIP PP.
