Underlying the Romney-Ryan agenda is a fundamental mistrust of the power of modern biology, of which stem cell research is but a symbol.

I want to know where the candidates stand on issues of such vital importance as research to cure disease and disability -- and I am not reassured by the "just trust us" attitude of the Romney/Ryan ticket.

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court on Friday refused to order the Obama administration to stop funding embryonic stem cell research, despite c...

Global efforts to fight diseases and reduce human suffering should not be put on the alter of "slippery slope" politics or absolutist ethics.

WASHINGTON — A lawsuit that had threatened to end the Obama administration's funding of embryonic stem cell research was thrown out Wednesday, a...

The issuance of a temporary injunction barring the NIH from funding human embryonic stem cell research should hardly have come as a surprise. Many of the same plaintiffs and much of the same legal team filed a similar lawsuit a decade earlier.

WASHINGTON — The government may resume funding of embryonic stem cell research for now, an appeals court said Thursday, but the short-term appro...

WASHINGTON — The government will quickly appeal a court ruling that undercut federally funded embryonic stem cell research, the Obama administra...

Our collective experience of the stem cell controversy has been instructive in yielding an approval process that will allow the science to move forward in way that deserves the nation's trust.

Frozen embryos, like waffles or fish or my old Dell, are only good for so long. You can't just keep them in the freezer forever with the assumption that, once you need them, you can scrape them off and use them.

The president has not explained precisely why he opposes reproductive cloning. Is his opposition solely based upon the health risks of cloning techniques, or on moral grounds?

Knocking down the arbitrary wall constructed by Bush will most likely subject far more labs who are obliged to reap the benefits of federal stem cell funding to a federal ethics oversight regime.

By investing and believing in innovation we will overcome our current economic woes and ensure our prosperity for decades to come.

Um, he wasn't your candidate, and he doesn't represent your views. So tell me again how he has gone back on his word....

The stem cell ban imposed by Bush was based on an untenable moral framework compounded by biological illiteracy and religious zeal. It might be appropriate to the Taliban but not for us.

The following is an excerpt from Lou Ruprecht's post on The Devil's Advocate, the official blog of Religion Dispatches. The President's announcement...

While the Obama administration brings a refreshingly friendly attitude toward science, researchers will still lack easy access to the full range of possibilities that stem cells present.

WASHINGTON — From tiny embryonic cells to the large-scale physics of global warming, President Barack Obama urged researchers on Monday to follo...

The slippery slope argument says that if we permit a scientist to culture stem cells, then when that scientist wants to make cowumans and humabbits, society will be incapable of saying no.

President Obama's impending reversal of the restrictions on embryonic stem cell research is meant to distract from the economy, House Minority Whip Er...
