Judge Rejects 'Frivolous' Lawsuit Filed by Stem Cell Opponents

Anti-stem cell activists lost another round in court last month when a Cole County judge dismissed all claims in a lawsuit filed earlier this year.

Among other things, Missouri Roundtable for Life accused elected officials of conspiring against one of Roundtable’s latest attempts to stifle medical research in our state.

Cole County Circuit Judge Patricia Joyce not only called the group’s claims “without merit,” she wrote that they “rise to the level of being frivolous.”

That’s strong language coming from a judge, but appropriate. Opponents of stem cell research are looking for any tactic to force their will — no matter the cost to families that are relying on stem cell research to help find treatments for Parkinson’s, sickle cell disease, macular degeneration and other afflictions.
