“I had an adult stem cell transplant known as a bone marrow transplant.” Chippendale

There are no restrictions on adult stem cells, they have been used since the 50's.

There are no restrictions on embryonic stem cell research either.

There is a lot of overt lying on this subject. The libs want to make this an abortion like polarizing issue.

We do not fund creating new cells or cell lines in procedures that involve ending the life of a fertilized egg or at any stage after, eg from fetuses.

Nothing stops this from being done using any other source of funds.

The federal government does fund embryonic stem cell research on previously established cell lines that were derived in manners that would not be funded today.

In fact the NIH promotes work on these cell lines quite vigourously, i.e. they solicit proposals and allocate funds for this quite extensively.
