Keeping Stem Cell Guidelines Current

The National Academy of Sciences is organizing a new committee to periodically update voluntary guidelines it issued last year ( http://nap.edu/catalog/11278.html?onpi_newsdoc02162006 ) on human embryonic stem cell research. A call by several scientific organizations and individual scientists prompted the decision, according to Bill Kearney, spokesperson for the Academy. The committee, under the auspices of the organization's National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, will be supported by private funds from the Ellison Medical Foundation, the Greenwall Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
