The Obama Administration has been thwarted by, (egad!) scientists!
Apparently, the way the Administration wanted to go about funding stem cell research ran afoul of the laws and ethics prohibiting cloning and other such human experimentation. And so:
A U.S. district judge on Monday blocked the federal government from funding all research involving human embryonic stem cells on the grounds that it violates a 1996 law intended to prevent the destruction of of human embryos.
I find it difficult to believe that I haven't heard and specific bleats about how anybody who opposes stem cell research for any reason is one of the immoral idiots, but it doesn't show up in my local search. I guess I caught wind of that noise elsewhere. Good. Embryonic stem cell research never turned up anything good anyway, and the Anchoress has all those details, but since I'm feeling salty, how about some PJ O'Rourke?
