And it's being fought on many fronts. There are life-science researchers at Universities and the National Institutes of Health whose research could benefit from access to embryonic stem cells.

Every year, there are pre-season workouts, and then there is the pre-season meeting. The captains and coaches of Penn men's swimming sit down and lay out the rules for the upcoming season.
