Obama Defends Embryonic Stem Cell Research Decision
On Tuesday, President Obama said his decision to lift federal restrictions on embryonic stem cell research was the "right thing to do and the ethical thing to do."Â In 2001, former President George W. Bush limited federal funding to research involving 21 already existing stem cell lines because of "fundamental questions about the beginnings of life and ends of science."
