LOS ANGELES - The University of Southern California has received a $25 million donation to build a stem cell research center, school officials said.
Philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad donated the money to build the Broad Institute for Integrative Biology and Stem Cell Research, officials said Thursday. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the fall.
The 215,000-square-foot facility is expected to be the largest stem cell research center in California when it opens in 2008, the university said.
I know there is a lot of controversy over stem cell research, but I am actually for it, regardless of all the abortion and moral issues. I honestly think there are ways around those issues. Hopefully in years to come, we will have a major break through with Stem Cell Research and maybe we can finally have a cure for Cancer, Parkinson disease, and the likes.

Cocky rap star KANYE WEST is calling for a revised edition of THE BIBLE, because he thinks he should be a character in it.
The JESUS WALKS hitmaker, who picked up three Grammy Awards last night, feels sure he’d be “a griot” (West African storyteller) in a modern Bible.
He says, “I bring up historical subjects in a way that makes kids want to learn about them. I’m an inspirational speaker.
“I changed the sound of music more than one time… For all those reasons, I’d be a part of the Bible. I’m definitely in the history books already.”
This idiotic guy got to be kidding, right!!! Who do he think he is? And why do he think he is historic? I thought you have to be dead to be historic? I can bet there are foolish people out there that feels he should have the Bible revised with his name it.
He mentions he is an inspirational speaker and that he teaches kids historical subjects. What is he teaching kids? How to tell if a woman is a gold digger? Oh no I forgot, he teaches kids that Bush do not like black people! It is really sad to see blacks like Kanye West. He gives blacks a really bad name. I am pretty sure this guy knows that he has only 15 minutes of fame, and about 16 minutes has past. He is trying to raise controversy ONLY so he can last another 5 minutes. I guess that is what you call desperate measures!
