Where Do We Draw the Line on Stem Cells? (Sen. Sam Brownback)

by Kan. GOP Sen. Sam Brownback - 04/11/07 10:03 AM ET

I look forward to highlighting the fact that adult stem cell research, which does not destroy young human lives, has yielded real treatments for patients in need. I welcome the opportunity for a full and open debate which raises a basic question: should we use taxpayer dollars to fund research that many people, including myself, consider unethical because it destroys young human lives? Or should we focus federal research funding on ethical alternatives that carry more clinical promise?
