THE BRIEFING ROOM
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary _________________________________________ For Immediate Release March 9, 2009
EXECUTIVE ORDER
- - - - - - -
REMOVING BARRIERS TO RESPONSIBLE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN STEM CELLS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Research involving human embryonic stem cells and human non-embryonic stem cells has the potential to lead to better understanding and treatment of many disabling diseases and conditions. Advances over the past decade in this promising scientific field have been encouraging, leading to broad agreement in the scientific community that the research should be supported by Federal funds.
For the past 8 years, the authority of the Department of Health and Human Services, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to fund and conduct human embryonic stem cell research has been limited by Presidential actions. The purpose of this order is to remove these limitations on scientific inquiry, to expand NIH support for the exploration of human stem cell research, and in so doing to enhance the contribution of America's scientists to important new discoveries and new therapies for the benefit of humankind.
Sec. 2. Research. The Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary), through the Director of NIH, may support and conduct responsible, scientifically worthy human stem cell research, including human embryonic stem cell research, to the extent permitted by law.
Sec. 3. Guidance. Within 120 days from the date of this order, the Secretary, through the Director of NIH, shall review existing NIH guidance and other widely recognized guidelines on human stem cell research, including provisions establishing appropriate safeguards, and issue new NIH guidance on such research that is consistent with this order. The Secretary, through NIH, shall review and update such guidance periodically, as appropriate.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
Sec. 5. Revocations. (a) The Presidential statement of August 9, 2001, limiting Federal funding for research involving human embryonic stem cells, shall have no further effect as a statement of governmental policy.
(b) Executive Order 13435 of June 20, 2007, which supplements the August 9, 2001, statement on human embryonic stem cell research, is revoked.

Oh, I’m sure the advocates and embryonic stem cell researchers will fairly soon be touting their “first” “success” of healing from this research.
I, personally, do not believe that someone is going to be healed on the backs of murdered babies. I am afraid that it may be that someone will only trade Alzheimers for something else, cancer or some other disease. We are ALL going to die of SOMETHING, although secular humanists will grab at any straw or step on any little head to fix things.
You know GW Bush should of went in and reversed every presidential order that Slick Willy signed but he did not have the balls to do it the old can’t we just get along was a bunch of BS!

“As promised, Obama loosens funding on embryonic research”
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 3/9/2009 11:40:00 AM
SNIPPET: “And Dr. David Stevens of the Christian Medical Association explains that these continued breakthroughs in stem cell research prove that killing human embryos is not needed. (Hear audio report)
“We continue to make enormous progress using induced pluripotent stem cells, a big fancy word — which essentially means they can take your skin cell and turn it into something that looks identical [to] and functions identically like an embryonic stem cell,” says Stevens. “We don’t have to destroy human embryos to get the cures that we all want.”
Funding, he says, should be poured into adult stem-cell research. “These cells have tremendous advantage — they’re readily available, they are easy to reprogram, there’s an unlimited supply, they don’t form tumors, they’re not expensive...and the list just goes on and on.””
Way to go Pro-life Catholics who vote for demo-rats. Here is your outcome.
JoMa
....sooner or later the pile is going to collapse all over pres Zero.
Stem cell research, Gitmo, Iraq, Afganistan, dissing England, lavish WH parties, blatant lies, 401K and pensions gone due to plunging stocks, burdening our children, lunatic appointments...and on and on.
Anyone who is listening can hear the sound of distant thunder....rumblings from even the "left".
Zero is so fixated on getting socialized health care that he is deaf to the thunder...
...here's hoping that he stays that way until the wall hits him.
...I want him so despondent and dejected that he quits and slinks back to the Chicago sewers from which he came.
I'm serious....seems to me that a nation cannot survive an official policy of killing the most innocent amongst us and get away with it....
President Obortion does not protect the sanctity of human life.
Well I heard that Embryonic Stem Cells could lead to ONE breakthrough.
Tin Foil Hat Time!!!!! If you give these people and Inch they WILL take a mile.
Maybe Obama had these guys in mind for his “national civilian security forces”

Yup. I think this is about abortion, trying to desensitize American citizens about life.
