Senator Steve Ogden will try anything to shut down embryonic research in Texas!

Ogden has also authored SB 1695, a bill that goes even further. It bars embryonic stem cell research in any state-supported facilities – even if scientists tap only federal and private grants for salaries and expenses.
“That would pretty much shut her down in Texas,“ Ogden said Thursday, after a five-hour committee hearing.
