Bill: Stem Cell Research Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Feministas Verdes
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 3644
Description[?]:
This bill proposes a return to Beluzia's previous policy of allowing the use of embryonic and fetal stem cells in stem cell research. The current limitations on stem cell research are hindering scientific progress, and are founded solely on religious opinion. As a largely secular nation, the religious leanings of governmental entities should have no sway on Beluzian policy. |
