The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation reports this type of research isn’t even happening in the state right now.
The foundation is doing research on adult stem cells but not embryonic.
But its workers say no one knows what the medical landscape will look like in five or 10 years. And they don’t believe research should be cut off if it could lead to life-saving innovations in the future.
