Is anyone who voted for him in shock and dismay? Most of the bush supporters I know, even if they've changed their mind about stem cell research in the last 6 years, like the fact that he didn't change. I don't agree with his decision but I didn't vote for him.

From a science standpoint his decision will not make all that much of a difference. Research will continue privately funded and funded nationally in other countries and the main loss to the US will be an economic one if American labs are not the ones making the breakthroughs. But then again, like you said, embroyonic research has still yet to show whether or not it has practical value. May
end up keeping us from a further deficeit if it's not federally funded.

Oh, and where did you here about the embroyonic stem cells getting rejected? I have not read anything about that. Have any sources?
