Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)-- As the Senate prepares to tackle the thorny issue of forcing taxpayers to fund embryonic
stem cell research in the coming weeks, two senators are reintroducing a bill that would
institute a national ban on all forms of
human cloning.
Dr. John Gearhart, who led a research team that first identified and isolated
human embryonic
stem cells, is named director of the
institute.
