(CNSNews.com) - A pro-life group says a bill expanding research on embryonic stem cells is likely to come up for a vote in the House of Representatives this summer -- and it may pass.
H.R. 810 -- known as the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act -- had 198 co-sponsors as of this week, only 20 shy of an absolute majority, the National Right to Life Committee said in a press release.Introduced by Reps. Mike Castle (R-De.) and Diane DeGette (D-Colo.), the bill would allow federal funding of research on human embryos that were created in fertility clinics. The bill envisions that many of the embryos would be donated by couples who don't plan to use them.
The companion Senate bill (S. 471) was introduced by Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa).
