Election fever inflames the US stem-cell debate

Article Abstract:

The United States House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in May 2005 to loosen restrictions on federal funding of human embryonic stem-cell research which has led Bill First, the Republican Senate majority leader to face demands from stem-cell research advocates to deliver on promise to bring the issue to the Senate floor. Voters in November 2006 would decide who occupies 33 seats in the Senate and 435 in Congress, and stem cells are poised to play a decisive role in some key races.
