Stem Cell Bill Takes Center Stage Today
Former Governor and current State Senate President Dick Codey sponsors the legislation. He says, "We would be the first in the country to build a building dedicated solely to stem cell research." He adds, "We would be using existing tobacco bond monies so, we're not spending new money."
$150 million dollars would be needed leading many critics to ask, "What else could that money be used for?" Codey says, "This is about saving lives in the future." He asks, "If the cure for diabetes or something else came out of this New Jersey facility, wouldn't that be a great legacy
it would be sweet, no pun intended." Diabetics will understand that one.

To listen to the press blab on, you would think Bush had banned fetal cell research (which I wish he had).
He didn't. He only banned the use of federal money. Anyone is free to do any research they want to, as long as they use their own money. Or money gathered from non-federal sources, as this article indicates. Pharmaceutical companies, universities, anyone really. Bush didn't stop anyone from doing anything.
Sadly.
Not long after the "breakthrough" stem cell research was revealed to be a fraud. Lovely. Just more half-baked pseudo-scientific alchemistic claptrap. And it goes to show that it doesn't matter there are actual results. The money goes to the promises of outcomes, not any genuine outcomes.
With the admissions of Dr. "Kwak", the Korean researcher who was supposedly running away with the fields, you'd have to be the most gullible or corrupt politician in the world to fund this stuff.
Not surprising to find New Jersey forking over taxpayer money for fraudulent purposes.
Hey - badda-bing is all New Jersey is good for and, facts are silly things but CA was the 1st to waste money on this.
