Several states are moving forward with efforts to fund studies involving human embryonic stem cells. Even though most of these programs are still in the embryonic stages themselves, they may prove to have an enduring effect on the field.

In August 2001, President Bush signed an executive order limiting the use of federal funds for research involving human embryonic stem cells to lines that were already established at the time. Even if the current federal policy were overturned, a law passed in 1995 already barred federally funded scientists from any work that destroys a human embryo, which is required to create a new cell line with current technology.

At least partly because of these federal policies, New Jersey became the first state to approve its own funding for embryonic stem cell research in 2004 and has appropriated $23 million for grants so far. Since then, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
