"Geron (who will now get our taxpayer millions/billions) and FDA officials told The Wall Street Journal that it was a coincidence that the announcement came just three days after George Bush left the White House. Bush restricted federal funding of embryonic stem cell research."
In other reports on this, the cell lines used by this company qualified for federal funding under President Bush’s guidelines, but the company never pursued funding.
So, yeah, I believe this can be “coincidental.” The FDA approval process takes years; this didn’t suddenly happen in the last few days.
** ... it was a coincidence that the announcement came just three days after George Bush left the White House.**
That’s a HOOT. ONly a LIBERAL would be SO STUPID as to think we’re gonna fall for a “COINCIDENCE!” Let’s see .. Bush leaves office on 1/20 .. Embryonic stem cell tests 1/23...
US Government works THAT FAST ... LOLOLOLOL ... hahahahahahaha
Starwise.. thanks for the jumping off point for these liberal scum.
How is it a departure from Pres. Bush's standards?
Bush restricted federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
Apparently Geron proceeded with the research without using federal funding.
