President Obama has, at long last, reversed the asinine ban on embryonic stem cell research enacted by the Bush adminstration, lo those many years ago.

If you’re a person who believes in the power of science to extend human life and reduce the suffering attendant to it, but maybe you have an itch about the whole “baby killer” argument foisted upon us by the self-righteous, check out this poised discussion and analysis.

And if you’re wondering what Rep. Yarmuth has to say about it, look no further:

Today, President Obama has empowered American scientists, including those conducting important stem cell research at UofL, to once again take the lead on some of the most promising avenues for medical discovery. This decision could one day unlock the mysteries of cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, diabetes and many other debilitating conditions, while eliminating suffering and saving the lives of millions of people. I was proud to have cosponsored legislation lifting this ban in the last Congress, and I commend President Obama for taking this critical step that at last begins to base federal policy on sound scientific evidence.
