Stem cell funding stirs Wisconsin fight: Catholic leaders express concerns to governor

Democratic governor Jim Doyle announced in late April that the state would invest $5 million to recruit companies in the stem cell industry to the state. Doyle’s goal was for Wisconsin to have at least 10 percent of the market by 2015—in a race joined by states from California to Massachusetts.
