US President Barack Obama has lifted restrictions on federal funding for research on new stem cell lines. Mr. Obama signed an executive order in a major reversal of US policy, pledging to "vigorously support" new research.Ex-President George W Bush blocked the use of any government money to fund research on human embryonic stem cell lines created after 9 August 2001. Scientists say the research will lead to medical breakthroughs, but many religious groups are opposed to it.
