The University of Michigan Welcomes Passage of Proposal 2
Date:11/5/2008

for life sciences discovery and industry.

"Now, it is up to us in the scientific community to build upon what the voters have given us, and to maintain their trust and respect by carrying out this research with the utmost regard for both ethical and legal boundaries.
