MADISON, Wisconsin, November 19, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle announced plans Wednesday to allocate $750 million for embryonic stem cell research. The funds would be derived from both taxpayer and private sources.
Included in the disbursement would be $375 million for a new laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Gov. Doyle said royalties derived from the $3 billion for stem cell research approved by Californians will also ultimately benefit the University of Wisconsin. Much of the original research and patents related to fetal stem cell research originated at U of W.
In April, Gov. Doyle vetoed conscience legislation that would have exempted scientists from participating in the deliberate destruction of human embryos for research purposes or the use of fetal tissue from aborted babies. Researchers who choose not to participate in this research involving the immoral killing of human life are thus subject to job loss.
