FTA: "The long-promised move will allow a rush of research aimed at one day better treating, if not curing, ailments from diabetes to paralysis — research that has drawn broad support, including from notables such as Nancy Reagan, widow of the late Republican President Ronald Reagan, and the late Christopher Reeve.

The move also will highlight divisions within the Republican Party, now in the minority and lacking votes in Congress to stop Obama.

The proposed changes, which Obama planned to sign around noon Monday, do not fund creation of new lines, nor specify which existing lines can be used. They mean that scientists who until now have had to rely on private donations to work with these newer stem cell lines can apply for government money for the research, just like they do for studies of gene therapy or other treatment approaches."

I don't understand why the GOP is against finding a cure for people with such life threatening and disabling diseases and handicaps, I guess they think that we are "expendable" and not worth the effort.

  Seems to me, some think the fertilized eggs are worth more then everyone already here, whatever you do, protect the eggs, forget about actual people, and once you're born...you're on your own and expendable.

      n2n I think you misunderstood my sarcasm, did you? are you one of those who believes a fertilized egg is more important then actual living thinking human beings that are here already?

      no truthfirst, I don't know of anyone that loves to kill babies. Even tho I am pro choice, I am NOT pro abortion, and personally unless it was dire need, wouldn't ever consider it for myself, but still believe it should be personal choice. If eggs are just going to be tossed out, why not use them to help someone? throwing them away serves no purpose.

  Great post. Hope that the disinformation is corrected. Lots of people seem to get it wrong about what a cell is and what a person is. Hopefully we can play catchup after 10 years of nonsense being taught.
