    I'm in the allow them to use the embryos that are going to be discarded camp. I am against purposely cloning embryos; if they can figure out a way to fish out stem cells from non-embryonic sources (which they have had some success with!) such as cord blood, etc.

    I hope there is a way to monitor HOW THE MONEY IS BEING SPENT.

    I too have a few 'things' that I have to worry about as I get older, But giving money, willy nilly to research and lifting some of the regulations and bans without any oversight as to what is being looked at makes me a bit nervous.

    Having the government step in and throw money at a problem without having any rules on how the money is spent is a recipe for disaster.

    ---------

    I think that money should be spent on finding cures for illnesses, but their should be some acountability.

    I am also in agreement, and this is long overdue!

    I've always been an advocate for stem cell research. After the baby is born, the uterine lining is checked and the umbilical cord is thrown out.
    Those the the two things RICH in the cells needed to create cures, etc. It's about time!!!

    FWIW, there was no ban on stem cell research. Just a ban on government funding of it. And we all know what happens when the government gets its fingers into stuff....

    If there is such promise in this research, I wonder why private companies were not all over it? I honestly ask because I am sure there is more to it than what I know.

    Recently there seem to be more and more reports about getting stem cells from non-embryonic sources. Hopefully this will become the main supply at some time.

    Simply because embryonic stem cell use can be very controversial.

    Here's hoping for some medical miracles ahead.

    Yes it is indeed a great day. Obama did a brave and wise thing.
    Umblical cords are usually thrown in an incenorator(sic) anyway.
