TRENTON –
The Assembly voted Monday to allow stem-cell research in an emotional session that left many of the bill's opponents and supporters in tears.
The bill got the 41 votes needed for approval after both parties argued passionately over its ethical implications and whether it allows cloning.
Approval would allow research that could help cure illnesses that leave people thinking of death as their only “solace, consolation and peace,” said Assemblyman Neil Cohen, D-Union.
“Today, we are about to take significant action on a significant bill to help a significant amount of people,” he said.
