BOSTON, July 17, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The world's most influential medical journal, the Boston-based New England Journal of Medicine, has pledged to aggressively seek out and publish research on embryonic stem cells to boost the controversial field's standing among politicians and the public.
In today's editorial, the journal's editors pledge to "do our part" to promote stem cell science by giving the growing research field a prominent place in its pages. Dr. George Q. Daley, a stem cell specialist at the MIT-affiliated Whitehead Institute and Harvard Medical School called the new policy "an enormous endorsement."
Drazen explained that combating arguments like those coming from the pro-life Massachusetts Citizens for Life was very much in the minds of the journal's editors when they decided on the new policy. "We thought it was important for the journal to go on record to say that we feel this is important research," he said. "We wanted to make it clear that we are interested in publishing papers of this type."
