    From the same article:
    While the timing of the FDA approval led some to speculate that the two moves were related, Geron's work had not been restricted by the Bush administration policy. The cells being used by the company were derived from leftover embryos at fertility clinics before then-President George W. Bush's 2001 decision.

    wouldn't stem cells carry a genetic mismatch when they grow in an foreign body?

    That's a question for the Biology forum. It's off-topic here.

    Someone needs to tell the US Roman Catholic bishops they should fire their lawyers and read this thread, because they have nothing to worry about! :rolleyes:

    Petty and needless. Also, it won't happen, it is just a PR blurb by the Bishops in order to manipulate public support :).

    The abortion issue is always going to be a losing battle for pro-life organizations (including religions) and I imagine this is a rather cynical ploy to see who is on their side.

    They are suing are they PJ? I thought from reading that they just outright didnt like it and were protesting. Either way its blowing smoke, I don't honestly think they would close down 600+ hospitals for the sake of abortion legislation. Petty and if they ever went through with it nobody would look at the Catholic Church the same way again imo.
