The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington today put on hold a ruling by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth while it reviews that decision. The Justice Department argued the judge's ruling will cause irreparable harm to researchers, taxpayers and scientific progress.
Lifting the ban allows the government to continue funneling tens of millions of dollars to scientists seeking cures for diseases such as Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries, and genetic conditions.
