Why are people against stem cell research for medical purposes?
What is the current legal status of stem cell research in the United States?
The legal status of stem cell research in the United States is somewhat complicated. In 2001, President George W. Bush signed an executive order that limited federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. However, this order was later overturned by President Barack Obama in 2009, who signed an executive order that allowed for expanded federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. Currently, stem cell research is legal in the United States, but there are still restrictions on the use of federal funds for this type of research.
