I was a supporter of the President's approach when he made his ruling on funding because I felt it was vital to study the process even if the cell lines had zero therapeutic potential. Those cell lines already existed from earlier killing of embryos so I reasoned it was more like using cadaver tissues. [BTW, I'm glad to hear you're working on how to obtain ESC without killing embryos because I consider the embryo age to be the earliest age in the lifetime of human beings and thus harvesting them for their body parts (their inner cell mass stem cells) to be cannibalism.]
Thanx again for the informative posts. I wish you 'bon chance' in your efforts.
