Former South Dakota Secretary of State David Volk wants to overturn a state law that bans the creation and destruction of human embryos for research.
Volk will need to collect more than 16,000 signatures to bring the issue to a vote.
Chris Hupke, president of the South Dakota Family Policy Council, said the state doesn't need to overturn the ban on life-destroying embryonic stem-cell research.
"All of the cutting-edge research is happening with adult stem cells," he said, "and we think it's important to focus where the results are."
