The
Sacramento Bee today ran a piece by yours truly in its California
Forum section.
Here
is an excerpt. You can find the entire article here.
"They're
talking about pain at the $3 billion California stem
cell agency. And mortality. But not the end of life as you and I know
it.
"They're
talking about the pain that comes from cutting off millions of
dollars for scientists. They're talking about what will happen when
the state stops borrowing money to finance stem
cell research –
a final-breath moment that arrives in about five years....
"CIRM's
changing priorities create 'stark tension,' said one board
member, Michael Friedman, CEO of the City of Hope in the Los Angeles
area, in January. 'We're going to have to make some really
painful and difficult decisions,' he told directors.
"CIRM's
success – or lack of it – will play a critical role in its future
finances, whether they are based on another bond measure or private
support."
