Anti-abortion groups are urging the Bush administration to abolish Clinton-era rules that would permit federal funds to be used for research involving stem cells derived from human embryos, though federally funded scientists cannot be involved in destroying the embryos to get the stem cells.
Because these cells are derived from a patient's own cells, scientists had assumed that they wouldn't be rejected a common problem with organ transplants.
