Our government in the us should not fund any research. That is not a power originally granted to it in the constitution.


But it does fund stem cell research. There is a lot of funding going into the promising field of adult stem cell research. There is even a small amount of funding going into the not so promising field of embrionic stem cell research.


The funding is appropriate divided between the two (if you ignore that none of it should be a role of gov to begin with).


The only reason this becomes a political issue is that religious conservatives do not want any funding of embrionic stem cell research and liberals just want to oppose what religious conservatives want.
