As a result of private research, more than 60 genetically diverse stem cell lines already exist. They were created from embryos that have already been destroyed, and they have the ability to regenerate themselves indefinitely, creating ongoing opportunities for research. I have concluded that we should allow federal funds to be used for research on these existing stem cell lines, where the life and death decision has already been made

See above. These are the already existing stem cell lines. President Bush did not allow for any new lines to be used. It is not my understanding that pro-lifers were disillusioned or that there was any loss of faith in him for making this difficult decision.
