Bill Seeks Adult Stem Cell Center
Associated Press - Fri 08:09 AM 02/15/2013
The bill would create the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center at the KU medical center in Kansas City.
A bill introduced in the Kansas Senate would require the University of Kansas Medical Center to establish a center focusing on adult stem cells.
The bill is sponsored by 22 conservative Republican senators. It would create the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center at the medical center in Kansas City, Kan.
The bill would require the medical center to appoint a director to oversee patient treatment and research with adult, cord blood and other non-embryonic stem cells. It also would require a 13-member advisory board.
Abortion opponents oppose human embryonic stem cell research because it involves the destruction of embryos.

I would say local means within the state of Kansas. If it happens in Kansas I would like to Know.

mickbenimble i am a very young kid and i have rheumatoid arthritis this center would change my life. Some many diseases can be cured or better managed through stem cell therapy instead of taking medicine that gives me a lifespan 55 years.
