Umbilical cord research gains state funding plan
Lawmakers approve funding for umbilical cord blood studies and stem cell research while promising further study before the next session. Supporters highlight cord blood as a safer, abundant source with potential to treat diseases, though embryonic cell work remains controversial due to ethical concerns and tumor risks. Pilcher-Cook advocates cord blood options, while Mitchell backs embryonic research with respect for differing views. The Midwest Institute for Comparative Stem Cell Biology at Kansas State University received 150000 in this bill.
