California Mandate for Stem Cell Research

From Life Science World:

"With a clear mandate, the voters of California today overwhelmingly approved Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative. While election results are not yet finalized by the Secretary of State, Californians voted decisively in favor of funding stem cell research statewide.

In passing Proposition 71, voters agreed to fund stem cell research at California hospitals, medical schools and universities, to develop lifesaving therapies and cures for diseases that could save the lives of millions of California children and adults, reduce state health care costs and provide a boost to regional economies and the state at large."
