NIH Orders Halt To Embryonic Stem Cell Research

sciencehabit writes "Responding to a court order issued a week ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Friday ordered intramural researchers studying human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to shut down their experiments. NIH's action — probably unprecedented in its history — is a response to a preliminary injunction on 23 August from US District Judge Royce Lamberth. The judge ruled that the Obama policy allowing NIH funding to be used to study hESC lines violates a law prohibiting the use of federal funds to destroy embryos."

It depends. If they misentered the code for "Fox News" or "TV Land", probably Republican. If they misentered the code for "MSNBC" or a porn channel, probably Democrat.

If they actually meant to be watching C-Span, they are probably Rain Man, or maybe Ralph Nader.
