Readers of this still-young blog might remember the inane attack ad that inspired the title for this blog; it also took a swing at stem cell research in addition to all the other supposed ghastlies that Pam Tebow and the rest of her band of soi-disant "Christians" were so worried about. That's why this idea should gain traction quickly in the SC research community:
The Stem Cell Action campaign supports attempts to enact "comprehensive legislation" that protects and funds federal research, according to Bernard Siegel, the executive director of the Genetics Policy Institute, which leads the coalition.
Siegel said the coalition, which comprises 30 foundations and state-based groups, is coming at a "critical time" to fight state and federal challenges to public funding, he said.
"Stem Cell Action is designed to give a voice to the broad majority of Americans that support this issue," Siegel said. "We can share resources and information so we're not operating in silence."
Further details are available through the Genetics Policy Institute page on this campaign here.
