Sen. John
Barrasso (R-WY), who replaced Sen. Thomas upon his passing away, has indicated he
will oppose efforts to spend tax
dollars on unethical embryonic stem cell research. The senator is no stranger to medical science having
been a respected physician for many years.
He was quoted as saying “I'm a strong advocate of medical research,
research we can do to help people with disease, and I think we can do it in a
way that we don't destroy embryos.” The
Casper Star Tribune also reports
on his stem cell stance in an article that mentions several legislative
issues.
