I still don't see why the government can't regulate the private industry without providing funds. They regulate the stock market; they regulate broadcast stations; they regulate all sorts of things for which they don't provide funding.

It seems to me that NIH could require companies involved in this practice to document the sources of their stem cells and submit to audit of their books, if Congress passed such a law.

I saw Frist's speech yesterday and read his speech twice, and for the life of me, that oversight is the ONLY reason I could find that he uses to rationalize using Federal funds...
