Blumenthal Definitely Supports Stem Cell Research
Rival McMahon agrees on issue
Nobody present could have any any doubt: Dick Blumenthal supports stem cell research.
Blumenthal made that clear Thursday afternoon to two dozen Yale scientists, research advocates, diabetes activists, and seniors hauled in to fill out a room at the Yale Stem Cell Center on the first floor of the Amistad Building.
Standing upstairs from the lab where Yale graduate student Annie Le was murdered last September, Blumenthal vowed to fight to reverse a judge’s Monday decision that puts a temporary halt to $54 million in federally funded research on embryonic stem cells. (Read about that decision here.)
Blumenthal promised, as Connecticut attorney general, to file an amicus brief in support of an appeal planned by the Obama administration Department of Justice, which seeks to overturn Monday’s ruling by D.C. Chief Federal District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth.
