Saying that the frontiers of medical science should not be hemmed in by politics, New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey signed legislation Wednesday to establish the nation’s first state-supported stem cell research facility.
The action made New Jersey the only state other than California to provide funds for the research, and came as the Bush administration faces increasing pressure to relax its restrictions.
