Gov. Jim Doyle made a bold and reassuring statement in front of stem cell scientists from around the world last week in Madison. Doyle declared the political fight on stem cell research over in Wisconsin.
We hope Doyle is right. We also hope the next president and Congress will similarly find common ground to move this exciting research forward faster. That includes lifting President Bush's out-of-date ban on federal funding for research on human embryonic stem cell lines created since 2001.
