Nebraska citizens do not like the new open policy Obama on research with human embryonic stem cells. So, in response to public pressure, the board of regents of the University of Nebraska will vote tomorrow on whether to limit its research to cell lines approved by President Bush:
... if it approves the restrictions - some opponents of the research say they have the votes, while others remain doubtful - the University of Nebraska would become the first state institution in the country of impose limits on research on stem cells that go beyond what federal and state laws allow, university officials say.
For weeks, the Nebraska Board of Regents was the subject of a fierce campaign by opponents of research on embryonic stem cells, more recently, a mail flood and telephone calls, a petition and radio advertisements.
Nebraska law already prohibits public funding for research on non-Bush-approved lines.
