by Associated Press , September 22, 2005

“There are far more people who are excited about the possibilities of this research than are uncomfortable with it,'' Morrison told The Detroit News. “There are many who have long aligned with the pro-life movement who now are speaking about the possibilities and necessities of this research.''

The University of Michigan Medical School hosts one of three National Institutes of Health-funded human embryonic stem cell research centers.

“We believe the new center for stem cell biology will serve as a research hub leading to increased communication and collaboration among all U-M scientists working in this dynamic field of scientific inquiry,'' Medical School Dean Dr. Allen S. Lichter says. “The opportunity to interact and share expertise and technical resources will be an enormous benefit to everyone involved.''
