What happened
George W. Bush's administration barred the use of human embryos in genetic research after he won the presidency in 2000. This policy was later revoked by President Barack Obama. The ban was part of a broader cultural conflict over embryo use in stem cell research.
Why it matters
The ban imposed by George W. Bush's administration placed regulatory restrictions on research activities at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The institute, which was created through a voter-approved measure authorizing $3 billion in bonds, has its research standards defined by the FDA.
Who's involved
