California & other states trump the feds

Unsurprisingly, states continue to move forward in funding stem cell research, with their "own" money. Given Bush's first momentous veto, the California Governator announced a loan to California's initiative, to actually start research here. A few fellowship grants went out, but otherwise the poor leaders have not been able to focus on much else than court cases. With a President who is so anti-science, who will stand up with him at election time?

Wired Magazine had a good piece a few months ago on stem cell laws around the world, to compare how conservative or liberal countries are on this issue.
