Germany Doubling Stem Cell Funding

Germany Doubling Stem Cell Funding
11/28/2007
[It is being reported by the German government that they will be
doubling the amount of yearly funding that they provide for stem cell
research]
It is being reported that Germany will be doubling their funding for
stem cell research.
The current allocation of five million euros (7.4 million dollars) will
be raised to to just under 10 million euros, Annette Schavan told the
weekly Focus magazine in an interview.
"From now on we are going to double the annual funding total for adult
cell recoding techniques, in order to push forward advances in this
area," she said.
"Over the next few years Germany must be a motor in adult stem cell
research so that we can expand on the results already obtained," she
added.
This move by the German government to double funding for stem cell
research has not come without its critics, with many people feeling that
any research involving the use of stem cells is unethical and should not
be federally funded.
Those critics should be a tad more open to the idea of stem cell
research, as recent results have proven that stem cells can be extracted
from human skin thus not from a live human or animal embryo.
"First, there has been a debate over the stem cells research," said
Junying Yu, Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. "Because extraction
of stem cells by the existing methods leads to destruction of embryos
and closing of human embryos has also resulted in ethnical debate. If we
can transform the human skin cells into stem cells, we avoid this type
of debate. Second, if the cells from a patient can be reprogrammed into
stem cells similar to embryonic stem cells made through the cloning
techniques, tissue and or organs can be cultured and used for
transplantation in the patient. Third, the stem cells made using our
technique can be used to test and precisely predict the effect of drugs
on the patients because of its unique genetic fingerprint."
