I would like to add to this post...
The reason the lines were there in the first place was because of Clinton.
George bush said NO EMBRYONIC stem cells will be used. Period.
I want to speak to the 20 "viable" lines. Most of them have been corrupted in some way and are not completely usable. It is also important to know that it isn't necessary for women to have abortions to obtain these vital stem cells. Scientists are now able to clone these stem cells.
Please go to:

Stem cell research shows great potential for many diseases including Parkinson's and cancer.
His objections are religious in nature and not based on scientific fact.
