Both houses of Congress have asked President Bush to
review his policy on embryonic stem cell research. President Bush
released a statement reiterating his moral qualms about creating human
embryos to destroy them, and refused to reverse the federal policy
banning government funding of ESC research (other than for ESC lines
established before the funding ban). Sources
