- Title
Critics slate ethical leeway in California stem-cell proposal.
- Authors
Knight, Jonathan
- Abstract
The article reports that the opponents of California's $3-billion plan to fund embryonic stem-cell research say that the proposal would give researchers carte blanche to rewrite well-established ethical guidelines to suit their needs. They say the research institute planned under the initiative will be exempt from legislative supervision and, if established, will be able to make its own rules about conflicts of interest and informed consent. Proponents are reacting angrily to the charges, saying that the proposal provides the highest possible level of accountability and will serve as a model of how science can be funded at the state level.
