Tennessee enmeshed in embryonic stem cell fight

The Tennessean: “A Tennessee-based Christian group believes it is saving lives by bringing the research to a grinding halt . . . Tennessee has become a key player in the arguments unfolding in court that could decide the fate of research involving human embryos. Even Tennessee’s two U.S. senators are divided on the issue . . . Seeing that more embryos could be destroyed and the government would spend more money on the research, the Christian Medical and Dental Association immediately filed the federal lawsuit along with the Alliance Defense Fund, a coalition of attorneys who defend religious freedoms, marriage and family.”
