Today, the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research (CAMR), of
which PAN is a founding member, sent a letter urging President Obama to
issue a straightforward Executive Order that reverses President Bush’s
policy on embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) and calls on the National
Institutes of Health to issue appropriate ethical guidelines. While we
have no information causing us to believe that the commitment to
reverse the restrictive Bush policy will not be kept, the delay in
action from President Obama is beginning to cause us concern.
