OLYMPIA - A Holocaust survivor who endured Nazi medical experiments is demanding an apology from state lawmakers who compared embryonic stem cell research to Nazi atrocities.

[Rep. Joyce] McDonald [R-Puyallup] said she believes embryonic stem cell research kills human lives, and she will not apologize for her comments.
