 Back to Previous State Circle Guests

Stem Cell Research Debate

The fight over stem cells made headlines recently when Bill Frist switched over in support of funding research. Here in Maryland, a debate was waged as well last year in the legislature. Sen. Paula Hollinger, a nurse, introduced a bill to kick in local funds for research. Opposition was led by the legislature's only doctor, Senator Andy Harris. The bill was never brought up for a vote, but will certainly re-emerge next year.
