Judge Blocks Obama’s Stem-Cell Research Expansion

In a setback to the Obama administration’s efforts to expand stem-cell research, a judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the federal government from funding any medical research that involves embryonic stem cells. In his ruling, U.S. chief district court judge Royce Lamberth cited a law that bans the use of federal dollars for research in which an embryo is destroyed. [WSJ]
