LifeNews — Obama Administration OKs First Taxpayer-Funded Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Friday, December 11th, 2009Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The Obama administration today authorized the first study using embryonic stem cells paid for at taxpayer expense. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama issued an executive order overturning President Bush’s limits preventing taxpayers from being forced to pay for the destruction of human life.
Because embryonic stem cells can only be obtained by destroying human life, Bush put limits in place directing taxpayer dollars to adult stem cell research.
