The U.S. National Institute of Health is beginning to lag behind the rest of
the world in research using embryonic stem cells, while the Bush

the cells, in a move that many believe will result in the withholding of
federal funds for the research. Join our Britannica.com debate on the use
of embryonic cells at http://www.delphi.com/br-science. I hope to see you
there. -- Steve
