He is going to pursue more embryonic stem cell research is what I am hearing. What this means, is that he will allow federal funding for the research. It has never been illegal in the U.S., just not funded. As for legalizing umbilical cord or more adult stem cell treatment, I don't think many politicians have a clue, including the president elect how valuable it is too. I hope I am very wrong about this, but I just don't see the focus on it that there should be. Every legislator I contact seems to only have an interest in embryonic stem cell research. The FDA also needs its clock cleaned if you ask me. There is a lot of corruption going on if you believe the Reader's Digest article from a few months ago that focused on the FDA.
