cas : cas presentation Stem Cells August 29, 2001 Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Auditorium, Smith Memorial Hall 805 South Mathews Avenue, Urbana Earlier this month, President Bush announced his decision to limit federal funding of embryonic stem cell research to existing stem cell lines. Since then, there has been tremendous media attention on this area of scientific inquiry, and the resulting moral, ethical and societal considerations. We invite you to participate in an informal public forum on this timely topic. After brief presentations by UIUC faculty from a range of perspectives concerning stem cell research, you are encouraged to direct questions to these specialists. Faculty participants include Profs. Chip Burkhardt (History), Ira Carmen (Political Science), Harris Lewin (Animal Sciences), Larry Schook (Animal Sciences), Brad Schwartz (Medical College) and Joe Thulin (Veterinary Clinical Medicine). CAS Director Bill Greenough will moderate.
