The stem cell research debate has been thrown wide open since President Barack Obama has signed an executive order canceling the ignorant ban on federal funding imposed by the previous administration due to nonsensical and irrational ethics concerns (sorry Chris Matthews but they don't make sense). Some claims by Rep. Chris Smith in this segment are bogus since a blastocyst is at best pre-human life and are discarded regularly by normal biological function (ie. miscarriage), as well as ...

President Obama signed an order reversing the Bush administration's strict limits on human embryonic stem cell research.
Barack Obama, the US president, is taking steps to lift restrictions on the federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research in the US. But money is not the only argument, it also comes down to ethics, politics, religion and science - and striking some sort of balance between them.
thisismylife.co.uk - The debate over stem cell research has raised many questions. Scientists say stem cell research will lead to medical breakthroughs, but many religious groups are opposed. An emotional debate has raged between those who say the research is vital for medical progress and those who say it destroys human life.
President Barack Obama ended a ban on federal funding of stem cell research. Obama's decision is a sharp reversal of the policies enacted by President George W. Bush. (March 9)
Scientists have welcomed plans by Barack Obama, the US president, to reverse his predecessor's policies that restricted funding to stem cell research, but the planned move has also drawn criticism. Al Jazeera's Roger Wilkinson reports on the emotional debate over the US administration's approach to research that uses human embryonic stem cells.
Pres. Obamas reversal of former Pres. George W. Bushs ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research has been met with both praise and criticism. Kimberly Dozier reports from Washington.

Description: George Bush Discusses Stem Cell Research Policy Date: 7/19/2006 Length: 15.42 minutes Political Video Link: www.politicalvideo.org Link: www.whitehouse.gov THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Congress has just passed and sent to my desk two bills concerning the use of stem cells in biomedical research. These bills illustrate both the promise and perils we face in the age of biotechnology. In this new era, our challenge is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning the practices that violate the dignity of human life. (Applause.) In 2001, I spoke to the American people and set forth a new policy on stem cell research that struck a balance between the needs of science and the demands of conscience. When I took office, there was no federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research. Under the policy I announced five years ago, my administration became the first to make federal funds available for this research, yet only on embryonic stem cell lines derived from embryos that had already been destroyed. My administration has made available more than $90 million for research on these lines. This policy has allowed important research to go forward without using taxpayer funds to encourage the further deliberate destruction of human embryos. One of the bills Congress has passed builds on the progress we have made over the last five ...

Proponents of embryonic stem cell research proclaim the potential of the research to find cures or treatments for many diseases such as Parkinson's and Parkinson's. Opponents say the use and destruction of human embryos in the conduct of this research are immoral. In 2001, President Bush announced a ban on federal funding involving any new lines of embryonic stem cells. But calls to lift the ban continue, as do movements to increase funding at the state level. Which side of the debate is ...
