MI Senate Committee to vote on Embryo Package Dec. 9

The passage of Proposal 2 by a narrow margin in 2008 left many unanswered questions regarding human embryonic stem cell research. A package of bills titled the Embryo Research & Fertility Clinic Transparency Act was introduced in the Michigan House and Senate to address concerns in the loosely worded amendment allowing the destruction of human embryos in Michigan. The Michigan Senate Health Policy Committee will take up the Embryo Research Transparency Package on Wednesday, December 9, where a vote to report the bills to the full Senate is expected. Please take 5 minutes to contact your state senator and urge them to support this legislation.
