Our legislation is a very important key to investigating and prosecuting complex financial fraud.
Why should we have faith that the SEC will implement this new authority in a meaningful manner?
Expelling embryonic stem cells from the researchers' toolkit will gravely weaken the search for cures.
These decisions which are driven by politics and not science are deeply disturbing.
To have that cut off at the knees would be a devastating blow.
Investment by the NIH has made U.S. research pre-eminent.
I applaud Senator Harkin's efforts to increase the NIH budget in the past and ask all of the Senators and Representatives to make the people...
It is a shame that we have to revisit this issue under the circumstances in which we find ourselves today.
We must support all forms of stem cell research so that no matter where the cures come from, we can get there sooner rather than later.
Do you think that funding for embryonic stem cell research should be prohibited?
The arguments that adult stem cells obviate the need for embryonic stem cells are not scientifically driven.
We are again reminded that human embryonic stem cell research is on fragile and fickle footing.
But this is not an isolated incident. There are peer-reviewed publications and a larger number of patients, and I would love the opportunity...
At last, we thought, there was a new approach to scientific research in this country, one that was dictated not by politics or ideology, but...
So when we have so much to learn from embryonic stem cells, how can we conclude that we do not need to fund the research?
