AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of the 2014 Massachusetts General Laws related to the use of human skin cells in scientific research. Specifically, it replaces the term "embryonic stem" with "skin" in sections related to research and donations, removes language prohibiting the donation of gametes for research, and makes other technical changes to align the law with the use of reprogrammed human skin cells rather than embryonic stem cells. The bill aims to facilitate the use of reprogrammed human skin cells in embryonic stem cell research.
