Embryonic stem cells - A Nicer Way to Patent

Science Now - the drafting of these principles, according to physicist Arthur Bienenstock, former dean of research at Stanford and an organizer of the Palo Alto meeting, was a flurry of concerns about license restrictions on the use of human embryonic stem cells
News Busters - To conflate stem-cell research (it's embryonic stem-cells under debate, by the way) and Terry Schiavo with 'Global Warming' or is it 'Global Climate Change', is disingenous at best and outright BS at its worst. Of course, once again you don't have all
Santa Fe New Mexican - That would make it a state-funded facility, sidestepping the ban on working with embryonic stem cells in a space built with federal funds. For the research to proceed, changes would have to be made in a state law that currently restricts
