California approves stem cell research policy change
California moved ahead on embryonic stem cell research as Gov. Gray Davis signed a law permitting the destruction and donation of embryos for study. The measure aims to attract top scientists, with supporters arguing it could advance cures for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's and spinal injuries while opponents warn it crosses ethical lines. The bill requires informed consent from patients donating embryos and bans selling embryos, but poses questions about federal preemption and ongoing Congress debates.
