Here is one of the comments to NIH redefinition of Human Embryonic Stem Cells:

http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:UtkZpsHk3DEJ:downloads.frc.org/EF/EF10C71.pdf+nih+blastomere&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShtbbP-9_cWso8mpt5qicFdvatHVOAYvVpEbTpT4N_ScicWcTlY5ucCxJ7Qhn9kvnNpFn7faY3-i9D39jaS7brq-oSZkuHYgtCRUei7G7jUhGD52f30iii6-bOyg7gACZ4HULgd&sig=AHIEtbQoBf418AYsn6qpcVNvCjEBkUy8lw&pli=1

NIH will not be able to change the definition, they will follow plan B - separately fund Blastomere stem cell research to get to the bottom of this case. They will do that after Patent is finalised that is next week.

"NIH is considering additional funding for blastomere-derived lines" is taken from Rabin's 4th slide from the presentation a few days ago--is it a fact? I want to believe it is a fact since Rabin put it on slide and said it in public--but I do have a bias and so does Rabin.
