Sen. Tom
Harkin (D-IA) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) have removed the language from the
Labor-HHS Appropriations bill that would have expanded human embryo stem cell
experimentation. The language which was removed would have changed the
cut-off date for utilizing embryonic stem cell lines for research from August 9,
2001 to June 15, 2007.
