States Consider Ways to Limit Stem Cell Research

"I just think it's immoral to create life and destroy it in the name of science," said Georgia State Sen. Ralph Hudgens. "In Nazi Germany they did experiments with human beings. I don't want to see that done here."
...Scientists extract stem cells from the live human embryos that are discarded at fertility clinics. Pro-life activists oppose the process, because it is fatal to the embryo. Supporters say that the embryo will be discarded anyway, and harvesting its stem cells can provide medical benefits.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

A new method recently pioneered in Spain, in which stem cells are extracted from embryos that have already died, could bridge that divide...
The bill in Oklahoma, which is by far the most restrictive, would make it a misdemeanor for a scientist to work with embryonic stem cells in the state. It received bipartisan support in the statehouse, where it passed by a vote of 82-6...
Oklahoma politicians have passed into law in recent years several measures designed not only to reduce the abortion rate in the state, but also to establish a legal point at which life begins.
The bill in Georgia, which would allow scientists to work with embryonic stem cells provided that the creation of the stem cells lines takes place in another state, has passed the state Senate...
"It's a very different thing to say that a state's not going to pay for something than to say they're going to make something illegal..."
Similar efforts to establish a definition of life are under way in other states, including Montana and South Dakota, Tipton said.

the states will mandate into law whatever the drug companies decide to write, and where ever the drug companies decide to do the research. Lobby, Lobby, Lobby.
