Some form of human embryonic-stem-cell research remains technically legal in almost every state. Only South Dakota bans it altogether, and most states simply have no relevant legislation. Seven states restrict research--including Michigan, which prohibits it on live embryos, making any cutting-edge work all but impossible, and Louisiana, which specifically protects embryos created by in vitro fertilization. A handful of states, including Pennsylvania and Nebraska, do not allow public funding...
Quite simply, there was no good reason to restrict mailing lists to unofficial groups before. HCS members have said that the technical limitations vanished long ago, but that they thought the administration would not allow anyone but official groups to have mailing lists.

The announcement last Saturday upstaged a dramatic funeral in the Eastern Cape. Some 25,000 black mourners converged on the town of Cradock from hundreds of miles around to pay their last respects to four slain black activists. But the prayers were interrupted by defiant pledges to resist...
