McCaskill Responds to Obama’s New Stem-Cell Policy

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill made the following statement today in response to President Barack Obama’s executive order reversing the ban on stem-cell research put in place by President George W. Bush:

“The fact that President Obama is willing to once again say to the rest of world that we will be the beacon for cures and hope is encouraging. My religion teaches me to heal the sick and God gave us this intelligence to find cures for the sick. I think it’s a great moment and I’m proud of him for reversing President Bush’s executive order,” McCaskill said.
