The Freep looks at how UM researchers will benefit from the lifting of both federal and state restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. President Obama signed an order Monday morning to reverse a Bush administration ban on federal funding. The article quotes Al Taubman, who has donated millions of dollars to UM for medical research: “Fortunately, we were able to convince the citizens of Michigan to vote for Proposal 2. I’m proud of our state for taking away this archaic law.” [Source]
