The Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City, Missouri, has again delayed expansion plans because of opposition to research with human embryonic stem cells. Last fall, Missouri voters narrowly approved a measure to prevent the state legislature from prohibiting human ES cell work. But the thin margin of victory has prompted some opponents to try to overturn the measure in 2008. A proposed resolution in the legislature failed earlier this year, but Donn Rubin of the Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures says he expects more attempts. "Missourians deserve the opportunity to vote to ban all human cloning," the Missourians Against Human Cloning said in a statement. Stowers says that the continuing controversy has scared off top recruits and put plans to double the institute's size on hold for now.
