Senate To Begin Debate On Two Stem Cell Bills
The Senate on Tuesday plans to begin debate on a bill (S 5), called the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, that would allow federal funding for research using stem cells derived from human embryos originally created for fertility treatments and willingly donated by patients, CQ HealthBeat reports. According to CQ HealthBeat, the Senate measure differs from a House-approved bill (HR 3) of the same name because it includes language proposed last year by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) (Reichard, CQ HealthBeat, 4/9). Santorum and Specter last year offered legislation (S 2754) that would have required NIH to research and fund methods of creating embryonic stem cell lines without destroying embryos (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 7/19/06). The House-approved bill, which passed by a 253-174 vote, is the same as a bill (HR 810) President Bush vetoed last year, and the White House in a statement released in January reiterated his intent to veto the measure. Federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research is allowed only 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, 3/29). The Senate on Tuesday also will begin debate on another stem-cell related bill (S 30), co-sponsored by Sens. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), that would allow federal funding for stem cell research using embryos with no chance of survival, the Washington Times reports (Lengell, Washington Times, 4/10). Coleman and Isakson's measure would fund research on stem cells taken from "dead" human embryos or extracted from living embryos without destroying them. In addition, it would allow federal funding for research on stem cell lines derived from embryos that are not likely to survive during the freezing process or in the womb. According to Isakson, the measure also would promote research using stem cells derived from other sources, such as amniotic fluid. The White House last week announced its support for the measure (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 4/6). The Senate on Wednesday or Thursday is expected to vote on the two measures, CQ HealthBeat reports (CQ HealthBeat, 4/9). Editorial, Opinion Piece
USA Today on Tuesday published an editorial and an opinion piece regarding the two stem-cell-related bills. Summaries appear below.
USA Today: Bush "should listen" to NIH Director Elias Zerhouni, who last month "changed his mind" on embryonic stem cell research and "now argues overwhelmingly that the federal government should fund and direct [stem cell] research," a USA Today editorial says. The editorial says that "the evolution" of Zerhouni's "views is a telling measure of how much has changed as the issue rises again in Washington." According to the editorial, the Senate should pass the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act despite a "promise of another veto." If Zerhouni "can change his mind, so might Bush," the editorial says, adding that new "facts have demolished the reasoning behind the president's compromise" (USA Today, 4/10).
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), USA Today: "Will the federal government maintain high ethical standards in [stem cell] research or will we sanction the destruction" of human embryos "to further speculative research that might or might not eventually help patients?" Brownback writes in a USA Today opinion piece. He adds, "[S]hould we fund the research that holds the most promise to bring treatments to patients soonest or should we fund speculative and unethical research, the benefits of which are unclear and may never come?" Brownback writes that the government "should fund adult stem cell research to the exclusion of unethical embryonic stem cell research," adding that patients "should have the peace of mind that their treatment did not come at the expense of another's destruction" (Brownback, USA Today, 4/10).
