Hi All. Please excuse my last message. I have no idea why it got sent to our list. I was replying to a student's e-mail, then noticed--after I hit "Send"--that my post went to the wrong address. Apologies. Scott Scott E.

The bill would require the Secretary to conduct and support research that uses human embryonic stem cells, regardless of the date on which such cells were derived. The bill outlines certain ethical criteria, and would require that the Secretary, in consultation with the Director of NIH, issue guidelines to carry out the provisions of the legislation within 90 days of enactment. H.R. 872 also provides that the Secretary may issue guidelines on research involving other human stem cells, as determined to be scientifically warranted by the Director of NIH. H.R. 872 was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
