"NIH cannot fund embryonic stem cell research, judge rules
By Rob Stein and Spencer S. HsuWashington Post Staff WriterTuesday, August 24, 2010;
A federal judge on Monday blocked the Obama administration from funding human embryonic stem cell research, ruling that the support violates a federal law barring the use of taxpayer money for experiments that destroy human embryos. "
Speedy says it's actually about a lawsuit by James L. Sherley and Theresa Deisher, researchers who study adult stem cells. The pair argued that the new administration's guidelines would "result in increased competition for limited federal funding," hindering their plans to seek money for other research. So they are suing because they may not get federal grant money. So does that mean we can all sue in order to get money that we think we should be getting ?
