Stem Cell Researcher Interview

As you may know, the federal government has banned the use of federal funds to support human embryonic stem cell research. There is an interesting article in today's New York Times about the practical issues surrounding the boundary between publicly and privately supported research. The reporter interviewed Dr. Douglas Melton, Director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. The article also raises interesting personal issues, as Dr. Melton has children who may benefit someday from stem cell therapies.
