Don’t rush to put limits on stem-cell research

There are two proposals at the state level to limit stem-cell research. Legislators would be wise not to rush to enact them in the budget process. We could end up severely limiting Wisconsin’s ability to do research and compete economically.

State Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, co-chairman of the Joint Finance Committee, says he wants to ban the use of state resources for embryonic stem-cell research.
