Check out the Scientific American article, then for more information, see the BSCRF article, "The History of the Dickey-Wicker Amendment" on the ban on federal funding of non-embryonic, parthenote stem cell research.

And also, see the BSCRF one-minute video, What are parthenote stem cells"What Are Parthenote Stem Cells?"

Thanks to your donations, Bedford Stem Cell Research Foundation is one of the few laboratories able to work on parthenote, non-embryonic, stem cell research.
