Less than a year after similar legislation died in Congress, lawmakers introduced a bipartisan bill in both chambers Wednesday that would promote embryonic stem cell research to help find cures for dieases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. The legislation would expand the number of sttem cell lines derived from unused embryos that are available for federally-funded research.
The bill stipulates that embryos can be used for federally funded stem cell reserach reguardless of the date of their creation, but it requires that only embryos originally created for fertility treatment would be used. It also askes for the beneficiaries of the treament to provide written consent for donation.
