Court Enjoins Federal Funding for Embryonic Stem Cell Research

[guido911]

The court ruled in favor of a suit filed in June by researchers who said human embryonic stem cell research involves the destruction of human embryos.

Judge Royce Lamberth granted the injunction after finding that the lawsuit would likely succeed because the guidelines violated law banning the use of federal funds to destroy human embryos.

More judicial activism I guess.

Yep, no doubt it's racially motivated too.

I thought this was a "Non-Subject."

In 2007 the same scientist who first cultured embryonic stem cells was able to create non-embryonic stem cells from adult tissue.  Since that time we've been doing tons of stem-cell research with no need embryos. 

Sounds like some pharmaceutical company wanting to save a buck to me.  Embryonic stem cells require one less step to culture, and therefore are cheaper to use.

More tender too.

And anti-Muslim?

Judge Royce Lamberth - a Reagan appointee.  Keeping the faith, baby!

And anti-Muslim?

Absolutely!
