Swarzenegger for stem cell research

10/19/04- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is putting his political career at risk. He endorsed a 3-billion-dollar bond measure that would fund human embryonic stem cell research. His position represents a break with California's republican party.

Schwarzenegger has said he supports the research since his father-in-law is in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease. Supporters of this bond measure say Alzheimer's could someday be treated with stem cells.
