President Obama signs executive order lifting restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) today applauded President Barack Obama’s executive order overturning a Bush Administration policy that, for eight years, restricted the use of federal funds for human embryonic stem cell research to a limited number of stem cell lines created before August 9, 2001. While lauding this bold and important policy decision as an important first step, the organization noted that President Obama’s executive order does not permit federal funding for derivation of new human embryonic stem cell lines.
