2003 SESSION
HJ 148 Study; stem cell research.
Introduced by: Robert G. Marshall | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Stem cell research. Establishes a 17-member joint subcommittee to study the medical, ethical, and scientific issues relating to stem cell research conducted within the Commonwealth. The joint subcommittee must examine the medical, ethical and scientific policy implications of prohibiting the creation of embryos in vitro for any purpose other than bringing them to birth, and the criminalizing of the transfer of compensation, in cash or in-kind, to induce any person to donate sperm or eggs for any purpose other than procreation. The joint subcommittee will also study the efficacy of research using adult stem cells rather than embryonic stem cells. The work of the joint subcommittee must be completed by November 30, 2002, and a written report submitted to the Governor and the 2003 Session of the General Assembly.
This resolution was continued to the 2003 Session of the General Assembly in the House Committee on Rules.
