My Speech on the Need for Medical Conscience Clauses at the Discovery Institute

I spoke last week at the Discovery Institute in Seattle on medical conscience clauses. I shared the dais with adult stem cell researcher, Dr. Theresa Deisher, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit in which a judge found that federal funding of embryonic stem cell research violated federal law.  (She talked not about the lawsuit, but the potential of adult stem cells in therapies.)  If you would like to see either or both presentations—I’m the old guy with the “silver” beard and hair—and the Q and A session that followed, just hit this link.
