Court rules against Obama's stem cell policy

human-embryonic-stem-cellA primary order of injunction issued by a district court, discontinuingthe funding of the study of and research in the human embryonic stem cell in National Health Institute under the recently established guidelines of Obama's government acted as a deadly blow to the same.

This order was issued owing to law in US which prohibited aid for research related to embryonic stem cells in case the embryos were damaged and a study of an embryonic stem cell would definitely lead to the embryo being damaged.

The Dickey-Wicker amendment also provides that state funds cannot used as aid to hamper the embryo cells but in 1998, when the embryo stem cells were discovered, George Bush who was the President then had sanctioned only a certain number of stem cells to be used for research purposes.

But now with Obama in power, a few changes have been made giving rise to a new policy under which a very watchful procedure is established at the National Health Institute by which the batches of embryonic stem cells, required for research that is funded by is the State, are determined and thus defending its move by claiming that only the embryos that have been destroyed are selected.
