Ban lifted on funding for embryonic stem cells - Health - Cloning and stem cells - msnbc.com: Opponents of taxpayer-funded embryonic stem cell research lost a key round in a U.S. appeals court Friday. In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the court of appeals in Washington overturned a judge's order that would have blocked federal financing of stem cell research.
