It's Time Get Stem Cell Research Back on Track

President Obama has indicated that he plans to overturn the funding restrictions for stem cell research by signing an Executive Order.  Currently, under the policy set by President Bush, federal funding for stem cell research can only be applied to human embryonic stem cell lines derived prior to August 9, 2001.  If President Obama signs an Executive Order, then many new funding opportunities will be available for stem cell projects because the current funding barriers will be removed.

Getting this research back on track in the United States will provide jobs and economic boosts for the companies who were on the leading edge of this research before it was halted.The time is now to make this important change in policy.  Because stem cells have the unique ability to develop into many different cell types in the body, they are of great value to scientists and researchers looking for new ways to help cure diseases.
