Bioethics Forum - Federal Funding of Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Bioethics Forum - Federal Funding of Embryonic Stem Cell Research: "On March 9, President Obama removed restrictions on federal funding of research on embryonic stem cell lines derived by means that destroy human embryos. Although members of the President’s Council on Bioethics have been divided on this question and some of our colleagues disagree with us, we think it may be useful and clarifying to set the president’s action in three ways into the context of work the council has done over the past seven years."
