A story about the founding of Michigan Citizens for Stem Cell Research &Cures includes comments by U.S. Rep. Joe Schwarz of Battle Creek . He said research universities such as Wayne State, Michigan State and the University of Michigan could suffer as a result of the state's policies restricting embryonic stem cell research. He cautioned against "creating barriers at our state lines." Defenders of the Michigan law preventing certain types of stem cell research contend that using embryos for research is like "sacrificing one human life to save another."
