Obama will repeal the ban on funding stem cell research

Within four months, Obama would instruct the National Institutes of Health (National Institutes of Health, NIH) to develop the bill.

According to the chapter adviser to the White House Office of Science Harold Varmusa (Harold Varmus), Obama on Monday will not talk about the basic principles of the new bill, and to assign this duty to the NIH, which will develop all the ethical and legal considerations.

NIH, comprising 27 medical and research centers and institutes, is a federal agency within the Department of Health of USA, responsible for biomedical research.

Recall that in August 2001, George W. Bush imposed a ban on the budget financing of embryonic stem cell research. He banned the holding of new experiments in the country in this field of science, basing its decision that human life begins at the moment of conception, and the use of embryos to obtain stem cells is tantamount to deprivation of life. The new president Barack Obama is a supporter of stem cell research and has repeatedly spoken out for the abolition of the prohibition of public funding, imposed by Bush.

January 24, the U.S. regulatory authorities for the first time in a world removed all obstacles to the development of therapeutic treatments based on stem cells of human embryos.
