Obama will fund research using embryonic stem cells.

From an Obama press release: "The study of stem cells holds enormous promise for the treatment of debilitating and life-threatening diseases. However, in order to reach this level of medical achievement, much more research is necessary to understand, and eventually harness, the amazing potential of stem cells.

Paul opposes funding research using embryonic stem cells.

Remarks by Paul during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives: "Does the US government have the constitutional authority to fund any form of stem cell research? The clear answer to that question is no. A proper constitutional position would reject federal funding for stem cell research, while allowing individual states and private citizens to decide whether to permit, ban, or fund this research."
