In a roomful of supporters some in wheelchairs President Obama signed the executive order lifting the ban on federally funding embryonic stem cell research we will bring that change that so many scientists. And researchers. Doctors and innovators. Patients and loved ones have hoped for and fought for. These past eight years the president heralded the potential cures researchers over embryonic stem cells can assist in discovering what. He also cautioned that the promise of the research remains unknown. Medical miracles do not happen simply

Our you know experts scientists might have had had a head broader opportunities. This research holds the most promise for diseases such as parkinson's and type one diabetes. Or embryonic stem cells might be able to replace cells in the patient's body which have malfunctioned. Today there is also progress involving spinal cord injuries studies in which paralyzed rats walked after injections with embryonic stem cells . Human trials are just beginning. Roman reed who was at the White House today is a believer. And Brendan. John. Scientists are ready to go that far it's important for people to understand that. Embryonic stem cell research is not gonna cure spinal cord injury or other diseases overnight these are complicated problems. Both for the past eight years scientists using federal money could study only 21 embryonic stem cell lines. That existed when President Bush limited the funding. Hundreds of stem cell lines developed since then were off limits until now. It's enormously frustrating as a scientist because what you want is all the

   expected to announce he will support federal funding for limited research on stem cells derived from human embryos. That would be a marked change from his campaign position in the campaign he was on record firmly opposing federal funding for stem cell research . That involves destroying -- living human embryo. Stem cells hold a lot of promise for medical research scientists say they can potentially manipulate these cells. To be almost anything an attack disease in many parts of the body. The president now to address the nation from his ranch in Crawford Texas. Good evening. I appreciate you giving me a few minutes of your time tonight so I can discuss what you are complex and difficult issue. An issue that is one of the most profound of our time. The issue of research involving stem cells derived from human embryos. Is increasingly the subject of a national debate. And dinner table discussions. The issues confronted every day in

   different conclusions. Many people are finding that the more they know about stem cell research the less certain they are about the right ethical and moral conclusions. My administration must decide whether to allow federal funds. Your tax dollars to be used for scientific research on stem cells derived from human embryos. Large number of these embryos already exist. They -- the product of a process called in vitro fertilization.

   should -- all of us to think through these issues very carefully. Embryonic stem cell research is at the leading edge of a series of moral hazards. Initial stem cell researcher was at first reluctant to Begin its research. Fearing it might be used for human cloning. Scientists have already cloned -- sheep. Researchers are telling us -- next step could be to clone human beings create individual. Designer stem cells essentially to grow another you. To be available in case you need another heart or lung or liver. I strongly oppose human cloning. As do most Americans. We recoil at the idea of growing human beings for spare body parts or creating life for our convenience. And while we must devote enormous energy to conquering disease. It is equally important that we pay attention to the moral concerns raised by the new frontier. Of human embryo stem cell research . Even the most noble ends do not justify any means. My position on these issues are shaped by deeply held beliefs. I'm

When you talk to me last night it was just like this calm came over me in the race to perfect what's called regenerative medicine. Stem cell therapy for animals is ahead of treatment in humans because it's not so strictly regulated. It's not experimental it's here. And while debate rages over the ethics of embryonic stem cell research doctors have made stunning progress with what are called adult stem cells . Recovered in this case from body fat. They're less powerful than embryonic cells but they don't require the destruction of an embryo.

Researchers at Wake Forest and Harvard say the new untapped source for stem cells is pregnant women. Who's down idiotic fluid and placenta have cells with tremendous potential. We can get a collection of stem cells .

Capable of matching 99%. Of the population. There four and a half million births per year so we can access a lot more of these cells. Supporters say stem cell research holds the promise of cures for a number of diseases including parkinson's. And alzheimer's but the two current sources of stem cells are problematic. Adult stem cells have limited potential while embryonic stem cell research has sparked controversy. Because it involves -- -- embryos. It crosses a moral boundary.

   Many doctors believe that embryonic stem cells have the most potential to -- -- Because embryonic cells can theoretically become any cell in the body. But embryonic stem cells remain controversial due to ethical concerns regarding the use of human embryos for scientific research. Two new studies published today offer a possible solution to the debate. Researchers from Wisconsin and Japan have genetically reprogram. Adult cells that make very similar to embryonic stem cell . The new cells have the important property that doctors are seeking. They can become other cells like heart blood and brain cells among many types -- could prove useful in fighting disease but there is no -- one -- Critics argue that these new cells are still -- exactly like embryonic stem cells and the small differences might cause problems in the future.
