Kate, very infomative. You can see why 600 word limit is a problem. It seems to me that opponents of stem cell research and therapeutic cloning SB 2439 ARE saying cells are people and that a life would be taken. No one seems to be paying attn to the legal status of these cells as it constitutes the law on the books now.
