E.U. Agrees To Continue Funding Stem Cell Research Projects

Ministers of E.U. member nations on Monday agreed to continue funding through 2013 certain human embryonic stem cell research projects but not activities that destroy embryos, BBC News reports (BBC News, 7/25). Finland, which holds the E.U. presidency, said the agreement does not allow the E.U. to fund the procurement of stem cells by destroying embryos, but ministers agreed to allow the funding of research into the "subsequent steps" on embryonic cells discarded by fertility clinics (Jones, Reuters, 7/24). All projects will have to be approved by independent experts and will be subject to strict ethical reviews, according to the agreement (Sliva, AP/Santa Fe New Mexican, 7/24). Janez Potocnik, E.U. commissioner for science and research, said the agreement clarifies current E.U. regulations on stem cell-related research and would not have a significant impact on the nine projects approved under the current program, most of which involve adult stem cells (Reuters, 7/24). Stem cell research will receive less than $38 million of the E.U.'s $65 billion research budget for 2007 through 2013, according to Potocnik (AP/Santa Fe New Mexican, 7/24). Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom voted for agreement. Austria, Lithuania, Malta, Poland and Slovakia voted against funding the research. The European Parliament must approve the ministers' agreement, and Potocnik said he expects the body to approve it (BBC News, 7/25). Global Implications
The U.S. risks losing scientists as a result of the E.U.'s agreement on stem cell research, which comes about a week after President Bush vetoed a bill (HR 810) that would have expended federal funding for embryonic stem cell research in the U.S., according to British Science Minister Lord Sainsbury, London's Guardian reports (Watt, Guardian, 7/25). The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005 -- which Bush vetoed last week -- would have allowed funding for research using stem cells derived from embryos originally created for fertility treatments and willingly donated by patients. Federal funding for embryonic stem cell research is only allowed for research using embryonic stem cell lines created on or before Aug. 9, 2001, under a policy announced by Bush on that date (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 7/25). In June, a U.S. congressional delegation that was in the U.K. to learn more about stem cell research said that a lack of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research in the U.S. has caused the country to fall behind other nations in such research (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 6/2). Sainsbury said that some U.S. scientists involved in embryonic stem cell research are emigrating to the U.K., adding, "If the U.S. continues to take this very negative position, I think within this field of regenerative medicine we will see scientists come from America and from other parts of the world, who would have gone to America, to the U.K. instead." He also said, "In Europe we are moving forward" with embryonic stem cell research, whereas the U.S. has "taken, as far as the federal government is concerned, a very negative position" (Guardian, 7/25). Gago said, "We must avoid a situation where our scientists emigrate to other countries" (BBC News, 7/25).
