Obama is expected to announce tomorrow a reversal on Bush's ban on embryonic stem cell research. Instead of the Bush plan that restricted federal funding to existing lines, his plan will allow scientists who work with new lines to apply for government money.
Thank you Obama for realizing the necessity for more science and better medicine. In my view, there is no ethical dilemma. Either use unfertilized balls of cells to heal otherwise incurable diseases or throw the embryonic cells away. The religious right who purport a violation of ethics should look into their own hypocrisy when it comes to denying relief to the sick.
