Michigan Passes Constitutional Amendment on Stem Cell Research
Riding the Obama and Democratic wave, Michigan voters passed a constitutional amendment on stem cell research that could fuel the growth of biotech jobs in the state.
According to BioRegion News, Michigan life-science leaders have be pushing for ways to grow human embryonic stem-cell research in the state. Sources are quoted as questioning the benefit to Michigan, however, as many states already have fairly liberal stem cell research policies. Of course, job growth was a key driver in swaying the vote. This on the same day the Wall Street Journal published articles about Michigan’s struggling auto industry seeking Federal bailout funds.
