Prop 71 - Stem cell research

If this passes in California, where will the $3 Billion go? Does anybody know any of those companies that might be publicly traded?

Just like most political issues, this has upsides and downsides. I don't doubt that some of the funding will help advance the research, but you have to take that with the grain of salt that SOMEONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS.

I'm probably going to vote against it.
