I couldn't find the earlier thread but if memory serves me Xavierx, you were pretty upset over this topic not too long ago when Obama reversed the Bush policies on stem cell research.

Under the new guidelines, federal funding would be allowed only for research using human embryonic stem cells from embryos created solely for reproductive purposes by in vitro fertilization. The embryos would have to no longer be needed for reproduction, and the donors would have to consent to their use for research.
Funding for research using adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells will continue. Funding will not be allowed for stem cells obtained from other sources, including somatic cell nuclear transfer, also known as cloning; in vitro fertilization embryos created specifically for research purposes; and parthenogenesis, the development of an unfertilized egg.

I believe the part in bold type was what had you most worried. Apparently you can rest easy about them cutting funding for these types of stem cells.
