1. A major change in health and science policy. President Obama lifted the ban on federal funding for most stem cell research, a ban imposed by President Bush 8 years ago now.
這是一項(xiàng)衛(wèi)生與科學(xué)政策的重大變化。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)解除了聯(lián)邦政府的資金對(duì)多數(shù)干細(xì)胞研究的禁令。這一禁令是布什總統(tǒng)在8年前實(shí)施的。
2. It's a hope that such research will lead to new treatment for spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and other ailments. But for a lot of Americans it remains highly controversial.

4. "It is about ensuring the scientific data is never distorted or conceal to serve a political agenda. And we make scientific decisions based on facts, not on ideology."

11. Many scientists say that under today’s new rules they should make a lot more progress toward finding out whether embryonic stem cells can treat any human disease.
許多科學(xué)家說(shuō)，根據(jù)今天的新規(guī)定，他們應(yīng)當(dāng)在弄清楚胚胎干細(xì)胞能否治療人的任何疾病方面取得更多的進(jìn)展。
