A Vote For More Stem-Cell Research

June 10, 2007, 9:47pm

The House on Thursday passed a bill that would expand federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, and California Democrat George Miller, a supporter of the legislation, dedicated his weekly video podcast, MillerTV, to the subject.

After the 247-176 vote, he interviewed fellow Democrat Diana DeGette of Colorado, who sponsored the measure. “[T]he president’s restrictions have stopped research all around the country,” DeGette said, “and we think that if it’s done ethically, we can be a leader in scientific research around the world.”
