Wrong Sam, he forbade any federal funding for stem cell research except using certain cell lines. And made sure you had to go through some real ugly hoops before getting the cells lines. Moreover those line were more likely to develop cancers than other non approved lines because of their age. Remember I was working for one of the official repositories for those stem cell lines at the time. I had to write the code to make sure that the scientists went went through the appropriate regulatory hoops. BTW that was extra regulation over and above the normal regulatory process that still had to be met.
