It's a fucking pain in the ass (and expensive as hell), though, to build and fund separate floors/policies/personnel for embryonic stem cell research in larger research facilities for fear that NIH funding will be adversely implicated.
California, New Jersey, Massachusetts are on the right track. Texas and Florida aren't too far behind. We're losing research dollars to foregin countries on a fairly regular basis because of the ban on new lines, and more importantly, without OHRP jurisdiction over any embryonic stem cell research in this country, any research that
does go on will not have the rigorous ethical oversight that most human subject research in this country must undergo before the protocol is approved.
I guess outsourcing cutting edge medical research, though, is par for the course in this administration. Free trade and all that, right Spanky?
