Revealed: No embryonic cures for 15 years
The “California Institute for Regenerative Medicine”(CIRM), the $3 Billion drive to support embryonic stem cells and cloning that the California voters were duped into voting into place under “Proposition 71,” has published its proposed strategic plan (available as a pdf here). The Mercury News (San Francisco Bay Area, California) reports that the draft plan cautions … Continue reading
