Politepreneur(R) President Barack Obama is to lift ban on stem cell research. According to the White house aide, the president will shortly issue an executive order to lift an eight-year ban embryonic stem cell research imposed by the President George W. Bush.
Former president Bush reduced federal funding for stem cell research in 2001. Embryonic stem cells are the most basic human cells which can develop into any type of cell in the body and is a new frontier in advancing human health care.
This is one of the promise that the president Obama made during his presidential campaign and in his inaugural address last month he again promised to return scientific research on the right track for human health.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) already have taken steps forward in advancing stem-cell related drug/cure developments. FDA last month cleared the way for the first trial to see if human embryonic stem cells could treat people safely.
