TAMR is encouraged by NIH action:

TAMR is as disappointed as the Coalition for Advancement of Medical Research (CAMR).
“We are disappointed with today’s Order to deny NIH’s Emergency Motion To Stay Preliminary Injunction Pending Appeal issued by Judge Lamberth. CAMR’s primary goal is to permanently restore embryonic stem cell research freedom as it existed before August 23, 2010. We look forward to NIH’s guidance on how best to interpret today’s order.”
