Advancing Stem Cell Science Without Destroying Human Life

That's the name of a new report out from the President's Domestic Policy Council.

The report is 67 pages (the majority of which is an appendix which contains the abstracts of various studies) and discusses breakthroughs in adult stem cell research, research to obtain pluripotent cells from sources other than living human embryos and touches on human cloning for research. It also defends the Bush administration's current policy on the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
