Usually, the statistics, jargon and incredibly convoluted writing makes abstracts difficult to read or less informative than I’d like. This abstract tells us … Continue reading
As Mr. Murdock noted, the House passed a bill last May (and the Senate could pass any day) that supported increased Federal Spending on embryonic stem cell research, relaxing the restrictions which require scientists to obtain funds from non-Federal sources if they want to kill more human embryos in stem cell research.
