The only restrictions were where the funding monies came from. There was never any banning on funding from private sources, only government.

I don’t know what the French were spending but if they are as cutting edge with Embryonic stem cell research as they were in Infectious disease ( discovering HIV) I am sure they are actively researching it.

I like the tone of what Obama said, however, saying the science should stand on it’s own merits, and not be molded to fit the agenda of politics.

I am suspicious of the conservatives when it comes to science letting religious bias creep into their minds
likewise
I am suspicious of the left when it comes to science letting their own agenda creep into their findings.

Science should be 100% free from political influence
