The Missouri constitutional amendment is important because it ensures that lawmakers cannot pass future laws that prohibit human stem-cell research in the state. “There was a great deal of concern that they could put random restrictions on the type of stem-cell research we could do in Missouri,” says Michael Howard at the Washington University in St Louis School of Medicine. Howard conducts research on spinal-cord injury using mouse embryonic stem cells.
