Bonn University supports research staff in stem cell furore
This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
The University of Bonn has dismissed criticism of two members of its staff, Professor Otmar Wiestler and Dr Oliver Brustle, who had voiced the hope of being able to import embryonic stem cells for research purposes (see Clinica No 962, p 5). In a public debate last week, the board of the faculty of medicine acknowledged that a factual discussion on research into both adult and embryonic stem cells was a necessity, but that personal attacks on its staff members were "unwarranted and discriminatory".
