Stem cells stopped
August 25, 2010
A US Federal Court Judge has
over-ruled a presidential order
which expanded funding for
embryonic stem cell research.
The ruling has left many in the
scientific community shocked, with
the head of the National Institutes
of Health, Francis Collins, telling
reporters that whilst current stem
cell studies would continue, the
ruling meant that no new studies
would be embarked upon.
“Stem cell research offers true
potential for scientific discovery,
and hope for families,” said Collins.
“This decision has just poured
sand into that engine of
discovery,” she added.
