LANSING, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Many people say stem cell research could unlock the cures to several diseases.
Critics call the method unethical.
Now, a state lawmaker is looking to bridge the gap between the two arguments.
Representative Marty Knollenberg, a republican out of Troy, introduced a bill encouraging alternative cell research. It proposes using adult skin cells for testing.
The legislation offers incentives for companies expanding their alternative research.
