University of Michigan stem cell researchers discuss judge's ruling
By David Jesse
Stem cell researchers in Michigan are anxiously awaiting a clarification on the federal judge's ruling Monday that blocked government rules expanding embryonic stem cell research, the Detroit News is reporting.
The Detroit News talked to several University of Michigan researchers about the ruling.
"Any delay and stoppage of the research ultimately delays the progress of time in finding cures and treatments," Jack Mosher, assistant research scientist at U-M's Life Sciences Institute, told the News. "That would be pretty devastating."
The White House said today federally funded stem cell research should continue and is exploring how to respond to a judge's order halting it, the Associated Press reported.

Proven alternatives exist, why push against this law? Is this all about not sending money to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation?

Just a note, embryonic stem cell research has not produced results yet. Stem cell research has. So, please note the difference, some people try to confuse the two.

Yet again, small-minded religion causes science/progress to take a back seat.
