Embryonic Stem Cell Research by Tracy Gregory, October 2001 -- properly! Long before the terrorist attacks
on New York Citys World Trade Center and the Pentagon, there was a nasty war waging on Capitol Hill, over the issue of embryonic stem (ES) cell research. In
November of 1998, Dr. James A. Thomson, a biological researcher at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, discovered that embryonic stems cells, those of four-day-old embryos, "can theoretically differentiate into
virtually any type of human cell, from blood cells to skin cells" (Stem Cell Research, 2001). While Dr. Thomsons findings were heralded as a phenomenal scientific breakthrough, further research
was prohibited because the federal governments National Institutes of Health (NIH), had deemed it ineligible, based on restrictions outlined in its fiscal appropriations bill (H.R. 3424) (Stem Cell Research, 2001).
Section 510 states, in part, that funds cannot be allocated for, "(1) the creation of a human embryo or embryos for research purposes; or (2) research in which a
human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death greater than that allowed for research on fetuses in utero under 45 CFR 46.208(a)(2)
and section 498(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 289g(b)" (Stem Cell Research, 2001). Ever since 1998, the issue of embryonic stem cell research has been not
only a philosophical "hot potato," but fodder for heated ethical debates on the floors of both houses of Congress. The primary point of dispute is whether or not an
embryo can be considered as a human being, or just an assemblage of cells that have yet to be fertilized. As a candidate for President in 2000, George W.
