Diana DeGette's stem cell research bill looks as though it will pass the U.S. Senate today, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "President Bush's threat to veto embryonic stem cell legislation turned into a promise Monday as the Senate barreled toward a vote on the bill. Senators launched an emotional debate on legislation co-sponsored by Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., arguing about whether the research it authorizes would save human life or destroy it. A vote on the bill is scheduled for today, and supporters said repeatedly that they have the votes for passage...
"Senators also argued over whether embryonic stem cells have unlimited potential or have been overhyped and offer false hope. Those opposing the bill talked about the advances in making use of adult stem cells. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a cardiac surgeon, said embryonic stem cells have the greatest potential because they divide unceasingly and can take on the properties of other cells."
