White House Reacts to Stem Cell Ruling In Its Favor

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth today threw out a lawsuit from scientific researchers James Sherley and Theresa Deisher challenging federal funding of embryonic-stem-cell research.

In a White House blog,  Assistant to the President and Deputy Senior Advisor Stephanie Cutter wrote that the ruling was “good news” for “patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and heart disease and their families.”

Embryonic-stem-cell research is a loser and a certified
Waste-o-Money™.
The real research is in making stem cells from an individuals own cells.
As usual Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing.
