Obama to overturn federal funding ban on embryonic stem cell research

Despite the scientific breakthroughs that yield stem cells without killing human embryos, President Obama is set to issue an order reversing current policy so that tax money can be used for embryonic stem cell research:

President Obama is planning to sign an executive order Monday to overturn Bush-era policy that limited federal tax dollars for embryonic stem cell research, according to administration officials familiar with the deliberations.

President Obama, according to administration officials, will overturn Bush policy on embryonic stem cell research.

Obama’s move will be hailed by advocates for those suffering from a host of afflictions, ranging from diabetes to Parkinson’s disease, who believe that an expansion of stem cell research could boost medical progress toward eradicating the debilitating diseases.

But many conservatives object to the destruction of human embryos because they contend it ends a human life.

Doesn’t it? Realize too that the funding restrictions contributed to the successful research that has found non-lethal ways of generating stem cells. I suspect that “harvesting” embryos–what a horrible way of talking about them!–will mean that such research may no longer be seen as necessary. But now all of us taxpayers will be complicit, as part of our money will go to fund this Frankenstein nightmare.
