| | Online NewsHour: Embryonic Stem Cell Research | Interview with U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette -- Aug. 9, 2004 |
 | | DEGETTE: Well, I think Dr. Zerhouni and his team understand the point about the ethical considerations, and as a member of his team said, when the President did his executive order, he was concerned about the ethical constraints, he was concerned that we use embryos created for in vitro fertilization, scheduled to be destroyed. |
 | | DEGETTE: Well, Mike Castle and I have introduced legislation which would allow full federal funding for all stem cell lines from embryos that are created for purposes of in vitro fertilization techniques, and which are scheduled to be destroyed and where there's informed consent from the donors. |
 | | DEGETTE: Well, let me say, the easiest way to fix this problem would be for the President to simply amend his policy, and we continue to have discussions with the White House about that. |
