The Maryland House of Delegates has voted to spend $23 million per year on embryonic stem cell research, despite objections that such research is unethical and less effective than promising alternatives.
"No research should ever be done at the expense of another life, yet that is what embryonic stem cell research does," the Baltimore Sun reported Democrat Anne Healey saying.
Healey and others said state money should only be used on adult stem cells, which are more ethical and have already produced dozens of treatments and cures.
