Court Rules Against Stem Cell Policy

Posted by Soulskill on Monday August 23, 2010 @11:55AM from the two-steps-forward,-two-steps-back dept.

An anonymous reader sends this quote from Reuters: "A US district court issued a preliminary injunction Monday stopping federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research, in a slap to the Obama administration's new guidelines on the sensitive issue. 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. '(Embryonic stem cell) research is clearly research in which an embryo is destroyed,' Lamberth wrote in a 15-page ruling."

The US federal government spending 700 billion this year to destroy really, really old embryos. Why discriminate?

This is Christians. They don't understand that something may be human and alive, yet does not constitute human life.
Like, for example, blood in a bag.
