Geee Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 The Hill:A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked the Obama administration's efforts to expand cell stem research, arguing that such research destroys human embryos.Although the Bush administration had limited embryonic research to existing lines of cells, President Obama last year lifted that prohibition.The move prompted a lawsuit from adult stem cell researchers, who said the expansion violated a prohibition on federal funding for research that destroys human embryos. The adult cell researchers were concerned the expansion of the embryonic cell lines would limit their access to federal funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
