- ## By executive order, Clinton:
- ##
- ## - Ended a five-year ban on fetal tissue research, which scientists
- ## believe holds the possibility of benefiting patients with Parkinson's
- ## disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, Huntington's disease, spinal cord
- ## injuries and other conditions.

- #This is an incorrect characterization of the Bush administration's
- #policy on fetal tissue research. There was no ban on fetal
- #tissue research as the paper suggests. Rather, the Bush
- #administration prohibited the federal *funding* of fetal tissue
- #research which used the remains from *elective* abortions.
- #Researchers could obtain federal funding for research which
- #used the fetal remains from *spontaneous* abortions.

- I hope that DOD continues to point this out. I see no reason to
- whitewash the idiocy of the former administrations, and I'm
- amused to see so-called conservatives applauding the practice
- of government-funded, worthless research.
