The Bush Administration's ban on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research has set back medical research on cures for Parkinson's disease, cancer and other diseases.
Fear of violating Bush's edict (even for something as minor as buying office supplies with federal funding) caused many researchers and institutions logistical headaches. Lifting these restrictions would free researchers to spend less time being concerned about government red tape and more time focusing on research.
President Obama pledged on the campaign trail to reverse the restrictions, opening federal funding for medical research. But he recently said it might be something for Congress to adopt instead. We need to enable stem cell research immediately! Tell Obama now that one of his first acts as president should be to act on his commitment to stem cell research!
