UM: Stem Cell Research

A spokesman for Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has told the Detroit Free Press that Snyder doesn’t believe the state legislature can force the University of Michigan or any other university to answer questions about its embryonic stem cell research. The state’s budget legislation includes language about answering questions on embryonic stem cell research as part of a requirement for state funding. Snyder spokeswoman Geralyn Lasher called the language “unenforceable and unconstitutional,” according to the report. [Source]
