Senate leader predicts stem cell vote within month - "Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said on Wednesday he hoped to have a vote within a month on the controversial issue of expanding federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.

Despite President Bush's veto threat, the House last month easily approved legislation to expand federal funding for stem cell research using excess embryos from fertility clinics. Senate backers of the bill say they have a solid bipartisan majority and want a vote soon in the Senate."
