Monday January 23, 2006, Wisconsin Stem Cell Now, Inc. presented its first ever "Courage Awards" to state senators Alberta Darling and Jeffrey Plale.
The award is in recognition of their attempt to amend the Anti-Cloning Bill passed last fall in a manner that would have allowed stem cell researchers to utilize therapeutic cloning in their search for cures. While the attempted amendment was unsuccessful, their public stand in favor of stem cell research and in the face of considerable opposition from special interests demonstrated true courage.
