Did they use EMBRYONIC stem cells?  Bush is the first president to approve
ANY federal funding for embryonic stem cells.  He approved for existing
cell lines.  There is no law against embyonic stem cell research.  If it
was promising it would be funded privately.

So far all that embryonic stem cell research has produced are brain tumors
and absolutely no, zero, nada cures of anything.

There have been successes with chord blood stem cells and adult stem cells.
 Neither of which are banned from federal funding.

The lefties like to quote stories about successful treatments from Chord
blood and adult stem cell research, and then try to confuse
readers/listeners as though that says something about embryonic stem cells
research.

Embryonic stem cell research is not banned, just not federally funded. This
debate is about people who want money from the government and not about
finding cures.
