U-M To Press for More (embryonic)
Stem Cell Research for Minorities
http://www.detnews.com/article/20100201/LIFESTYLE03/2010312/U-M-to-press-for-more-stem-cell-research-for-minorities
A recent University of Michigan study showed a stark lack of diversity in the most commonly used embryonic stem cell lines, and researchers at the university are hoping to bridge that gap.
"It may be a white thing at this point," said Amy Jackson, 72. "But that doesn't mean it won't change."
Sean Morrison, director of U-M's Center for Stem Cell Biology, regards the lack of diversity as a social injustice and expects U-M to pioneer change in this area of research, perhaps by prioritizing embryos donated by underrepresented groups when creating stem cell lines.
Killing kids is the real social injustice. Hitler would absolutely love this stuff.
A very interesting article. It's amazing how the sources of this material are completely forgotten in the rush to "cure diseases".
Man is completely unfit to make any decisions in this realm whatsoever. The Third Reich gave it a shot and failed miserably.
