The End to The Stem Cell Meeting

The following comes to you live from The Stem Cell Meeting in San Francisco.

At the end of the day came rhetoric about the culture of death, bald eagles and their eggs and how we all should be able to get along.

The last meeting of The Stem Cell Meeting in San Francisco concluded with a lively panel on ethics in stem cell research. It was heated at times, humorous and informative. But it did not change the mind of a single person (we think).

Following the final panel, the host of the conference, Steve Burrill, head of the firm bearing his name, told the audience the two-day conference was planned to avoid an event where business people talk only to business people and scientists only talk to scientists. And that it was, an interesting cross section of bureaucrats, executives, scientists, religious folks and so forth. Burrill promised another session the same time next year.

We will have more tomorrow on the events at the meeting.
