Hey y'all. I am looking for info regarding stem cell research. What are the current procedures, laws, etc. regarding this topic. My BIO 202 teacher, tree hugging lefty, is supporting Kerry because she believes he will open up stem cell research. I told her it isn't illegal, just that harvesting fetuses for stem cell research is. She replied that only fetuses produce viable stem cells for research and development. Are there any medical journals I can resource. I am currently looking around on my own but I figured I'd put the request out given FReepers tenacity in finding the facts. FReepers UNITE!!!!! I love this site. Thanks all ss
Look at "The President's Council on Bioethics"

Let me know if you want to discuss it.
