It would take another decade for Tucker to start thinking about children or reimplanting the ovarian tissue. "Basically, Dr. Silber had said, 'It doesn't matter when you put it back in.

It is unfortunate that we have slowed construction of the science complex in Allston, which has pushed stem cell research into old laboratories unequipped for such advanced procedures. We have already begun to witness the fallout created by the Allston delay: a few prominent professors of Molecular and Cellular Biology, displaced by the recent changes, have threatened to leave the university. We hope that, as Obama’s policy changes take effect in the next couple of years, Harvard will take advantage of these new scientific opportunities by providing its professors...
