  • Stem Cell Action Coalition Applauds Final Victory for Patients and Scientists in the Sherley v. Sebelius Stem Cell Case

    WASHINGTON--(January 7, 2013)--Bernard Siegel, spokesperson for the Stem Cell Action Coalition and Executive Director of the Genetics Policy Institute (GPI), issued a statement today in support of the U.S. Supreme Court's denial of the plantiffs' application to appeal the Sherley v Sebelius case: “The U.S. Supreme Court denied today the plaintiffs’ application to appeal the decision of the D.C. Court of Appeals, thereby ending Sherley v Sebelius in favor of the government and upholding federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research. This is a major victory for scientifically and ethically responsible innovative research. With the cloud of this case lifted, researchers can now rest assured that the challenge to the NIH's 2009 guidelines for funding for embryonic stem cell research is over. Patients and their advocates can rejoice that this potentially lifesaving research can proceed at the federal level. But at the same time we must remain vigilant against threats at state and other policy-making levels.”
