Mike,
Unless you are aware of something I'm not, this is "FUD" (fear, uncertainty & doubt) spreading. The panels that I'm aware of have consistently come down on the side of "a collection of cells, does not a human being make" and within reason we should be allowed to develop those into health treatments.
I'm unaware of any decision to "refuse genetic engineering in health care". In fact I believe the NIH has funded several groups to develop the vectors that would make gene therapy much easier in people.
If Kansas has a "no geneticlly engineered people" law I would like to hear about it.
