[QUOTE="niccolai:904925"][QUOTE="Josh_Martin:841570"] Pro-stem cell research[/QUOTE] Obama's stem cell policy is no different than that of George Bush as a legislation still bars the scientists from receiving government aid. A spending bill that Obama inked on Wednesday clearly bans the US government from providing funds for any "research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death," reported FOX News on Saturday. This provision, known as the Dickey-Wicker amendment, was included in the 465-page omnibus spending bill that will provide federal funding for agencies in the current fiscal year through September. The amendment is a measure that Congress has included in spending bills in every fiscal year since 1996. In fact, the Dickey-Wicker provision blocks scientist from accessing embryonic stem cells. Now some representatives in the US Congress are leading efforts to repeal the amendment. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said she doesn't want stem cell research to become a "ping pong ball going back and forth between administrations." Douglas Johnson, spokesman for the National Right to Life Committee, said in a press release Monday that Obama's reversal of the Bush policy "set the stage" for an effort to repeal Dickey-Wicker. "This sets the stage for an attack on the Dickey-Wicker law," Johnson said. "Any member of Congress who votes for legislation to repeal this law is voting to allow federal funding of human embryo farms, created through the use of human cloning." Denying the development of human cloning, Obama said Monday that the practice "is dangerous, profoundly wrong, and has no place in our society or any society." [/QUOTE]
