IMPO this is great news. But is is awful sad that the fact that stem cells don't have to come from embryos anymore is being completely ignored by the press. Just more sensationalized journalism...

Scientists will do what is most effective and what is cheapest. If stemcells without embryos is more effective and cost effective then using embryos will be obsolete and will go out of style. If not, they won't.

Who cares what the news media thinks or says?

You're right on the cost thing; if restrictions are lifted, they will take the cheapest path.

Mostly I don't care what the media tries to spin; it just frustrates me later when I have to unspin some of it to have a conversation with people who have only heard the view spun out by the media.

Good stuff Johnny.

In and of itself I might not care what the media says and thinks, but they influence quite a bit of the country.

This is good news, but even better news is the other half, wherein Obama is issuing an executive order to insulate science from political pressures and influence. No more having to 'massage' (read: fake) results to fit with administration policy.

Have you not read the scriptures? It states "... and the profit shall lead them."
