Stem Cell Research Allowed to Continue by U.S. Court

The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington put today a hold on the ruling by District Judge Royce Lamberth who banned stem cell research funding. This is a research that involves human embryonic stem cells.

The ruling by Lamberth was announced last month, following information that the research would involve destroying human embryos. Obama had hoped research to continue in hopes to find new cures for different diseases with the new information.
“The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the merits of the emergency motion for stay and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion,” the appeals court wrote in its decision.
