This program will be the most comprehensive and broadest program for stem cell research training in the country and I assume in the world,

It will be the spring of 2007 before we will be able to pursue stem cell research on the scale that the voters of Prop. 71 expect.

How do you have a training program in stem cell biology if you don't have the mentors?

Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years.

I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research.

The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep.
