The Bush administration was the first to fund embryonic stem-cell research and has devoted well more than $100 million to it since 2001, though only in ways that do not encourage the further destruction of embryos. Bush invokes his faith in explaining his position. ...
There is no ban in place preventing private companies from investing money to fund embryonic stem-cell research. If this research holds as much promise as Mr. Gautreaux feels it does, why aren't private companies lining up around the block to fund it?
There's certainly plenty of private research being done. Here's my previous post on some perhaps inadvertent benefits of the policy. I don't fully agree with the reader or the policy, but the discussion in the news is really annoying.
