president obama lifted alot of the stops bush put down on stem cell research today which alot of people are excited about due to the possibilities of stem cells helping to cure diabetes, parkinsons and other ailments that have been almost impossible to cure as of late.
but with this lift also comes the controversy of stem cells coming from unborn embryos, the possibilities of it leading to cloning etc.
now, about a year ago, there was this guy in texas who was experimenting with lizard dna to regenerate amputated digits and limbs (seriously, i know that sounds like something out of spider-man but really.) and noone really seemed to have alot of flack about him using lizard genes he personally harvested but there always seems to be a hangup when it comes to things like unborn embryos who may never be developed into a child in the first place.
anyways, do you think obama went too far and that the ban shouldnt have been lifted or is this a good day for science?
