Stem cell order tests science-politics relationship|Cnet
President Obama’s decision to allow federal tax dollars to be used with embryonic stem cell research does more than reverse his predecessor’s policies and fulfill a long-standing campaign promise. It also reopens the debate about how well science and politics can, or should, mix.
On Monday, Obama signed an executive order allowing research on more stem cell lines than the Bush administration had permitted in its political compromise eight years ago.
