Posted by editor1 CoolHealthTips.comUS President Barack Obama announced the overturn towards the stem cell policy of former US President George W. Bush. He further said that his government would follow science rather than political ideology. Obama is intended to turn around the limits on stem cell research being funded by federal government and handed over the command to National Institutes of Health to save the science and research from political interference.
In the former rule, there were limitations on the taxpayer money for stem cell research and stem lines were restricted to specific areas. Many of these lines were proved to have drawbacks and should be left while the new and healthy research lines should be funded to get benefits. Bush along with his supporters argued they did so to defend the human life by protecting days-old embryos which were destroyed for the stem cells.
On the other hand, the research supporters strongly favor the Obama’s decision. Stem cells of an embryo are the master cells which can be changed into any cell of the body.
Due to this quality, researchers want to use them for creating replacement tissues in order to cure a variety of diseases like new insulin-producing cells for diabetic patients or to restore movement after spinal injury by creating new nerve connections.
Obama is well aware of the both arguments and has urged the researchers to do research for the betterment of humanity.
