This will allow scientists to work on new lines and start to draw together cells of different sources, which should lead to more rapid advances...
...unrivaled source of federal funding for biomedical research that gave Harvard researchers $351 million last fiscal year. Until today, federal funding for embryonic research—which some criticize as unethical because it requires the destruction of embryos—had been constrained by a 2001 order from President Bush that limited funding to research using only the 21 cell lines existing at the time of his directive.

Bush's warrantless wiretapping powers over concerns from the left about granting telecom giants retroactive immunity for working with the Administration. Most notably, Dodd, against the wishes of the White House, slipped into the stimulus bill tough limits on compensation for Wall Street firms accepting additional federal bailout money. The restrictions were...
