“Despite its potential, the federal government has restricted funding for creating new cell lines - putting the burden of any future research squarely on the shoulders of the private sector. Government's most basic responsibility, however, is the health and welfare of its people, so it has a duty to encourage appropriate scientific investigations that could possibly save the lives of millions.” PeopleGovernmentLinesResponsibilityMillionsDutyCreatingResearchBurdenShouldersDespiteCellsWelfareAppropriateInvestigationFederal GovernmentFundingPrivate Sector Author:Michael Bloomberg
