...record $16 million from biotechnology advocates, ran up against one of the strongest state pro-life movements in the country. It should come as no surprise, then, that the fight has spilled over into what is shaping up to be a tight Senate race between Republican incumbent Jim Talent and Democratic state auditor Claire McCaskill, one of the contests that Democrats hope will tip the balance of the Senate...
...Missouri, though, stem-cell research is only one issue in a target-rich environment for Democrats: McCaskill is spending more time talking about the Iraq war and Republican corruption than about Talent's opposition to stem-cell research. And as she campaigns in conservative rural areas, McCaskill is making the issue more of a test of Talent's character than of his ideology, pointing to instances in which he has waffled in his opposition. So it's hard to predict how much the stem-cell question will figure in the Senate race's outcome...

Regulators want data on how the cells will behave in the human body. Stem cells have shown a dismaying talent for turning into tumors. Will they migrate into unwanted areas? No one knows. You can't find out for sure until you test in humans, but it's hard to test in humans until you can be reasonably sure you won't harm them in the process...
