Obama has done some very important things so far - I am hopeful that he will make more changes (in terms of funding and support) that will help stem cell and gene therapy research....

Narendra:
Monday seems to be a big day as seems like President Obama will overturn Bush's restriction on Stem Cell Research

--- Quote ---President Obama on Monday will overturn his predecessor's restrictions on stem cell research, various media outlets are reporting this afternoon.

In 2001, then-President Bush limited federal funding for such research to existing lines of stem cells. Obama is expected to allow the National Institutes of Health to pay for scientists to study hundreds of lines of cells that have been developed since then.

The move will fulfill a campaign pledge that Obama used to differentiate himself with John McCain, his Republican rival. “Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that embryonic stem cell research represents real hope to millions of families dealing with debilitating conditions," his campaign said.

Dori:
Yes, I have heard that too. I think it's a good change.
