Executive Order on stem-cell research
As MOJ readers probably know, the other day Congress passed -- and the President immediately vetoed -- a bill that would have expanded federal funding for human-embryo-destroying research. (Perhaps now the Congress will turn to the Seamless Garment agenda, and -- say -- ban the federal death-penalty?) Here is a link to the President's executive order, issued yesterday (but almost certainly destined to be overlooked in the press coverage of the issue) expanding federal support of research on pluripotent stem cells not derived through the destruction of human embryos.
