(AP) —- Gov. Gray Davis signed legis lation Sunday to allow embryon ic stem cell research in the state, a direct contradiction of federal limits on the research. Davis has said the legisla tion is essential to keep California at the forefront of medical research. He was joined at the ceremony by actor Christopher Reeve, who has become a medical research activist since he was paralyzed in a horse riding accident seven years ago. The bill was opposed by the Roman Catholic church and anti- abortion groups, who say the research is tantamount to murder because it starts w ith the destruc tion of a human embryo. Stem cells, which are found in human embryos, umbilical cords and placentas, can divide and become any kind of cell in the body. Last year. Bush restricted federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research to a select number of existing cell lines. Critics say many of those stem cells are in poor condition and are useless for research. Sen. Deborah Ortiz authored the bill that states California will explicitly allow embryonic stem cell research, and allows for both the destruction and donation of embryos. The bill retjuires clinics that do in-vitro fertilization proce dures to inform women they have the option to donate disc anted embryos to research. It requires written consent for donating embryos for research and bans the sale of embryos. injuries. Reeve No Since stern cells were f irst isolated in 1998, the political debate has had a chilling affect on our scientists.
