Just an update:
They gutted this legislation and then passed it today. It now says nothing about allowing research.

... but the status quo is that the law is silent on embryonic stem cell research, so it's still legal, right?
Nobody would invest in the research on this basis, though. I suspect Astra Zeneca is behind this and is just waiting for it to be specifically legal so they can proceed without a courtroom fight.
Even if the law is passed, it still wouldn't stop the loonies from lining up and picketing on the shoulder of Concord Pike.

Astra Zeneca has not shown its hand in this as far as I know, but it is interesting that one of the leaders of the SB 80 opposition derives significant income from Astra Zeneca.
