MILWAUKEE, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson told Wisconsin editors that he supports stem cell research.
Thompson's speech Thursday to the Wisconsin Newspaper Association was his first public appearance in the state as a private citizen in 38 years, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. Thompson served as governor of Wisconsin before joining President Bush's cabinet.
"I happen to be a big believer in all stem cell research," including those involving stem cells from human embryos, blood and placentas, Thompson said.
But Thompson said he did not believe that the president's limits on research to research on embryonic stem cells caused any great harm to research.
Thompson said he plans to become involved in "medical diplomacy." He did not rule out a future run for political office.
