The long awaited scheduling before the U. S. Senate of the Stem Cell
Research Enhancement Act has finally occurred.

advocate Don Reed follows.

DANGEROUS DECOYS: New Ways to Attack Embryonic Stem Cell Research
A few weeks from today, Senate Bill 471, the Stem Cell Research
Enhancement Act (Castle/DeGette, HR 810) will come at last to the
floor of the United States Senate. That the bill is moving forward at
all, after being "buried" more than a year, is a tribute to the power
of the stem cell research advocacy community.
But the battle is not over.
Two decoy bills are ready to destroy it, homing in like guided missiles.
The legislative weapons are:
* Senate Bill 2754, (Santorum/Specter) the Alternative
Pluripotent Stem Cell Therapies Enhancement Act;
* Senate Bill 3504, (Santorum/Brownback) the Fetus Farming
Prohibition Act.
These two bills might well be called the <SNIP>
