New NIH Appointee

In a startling move, President Barack Obama, has nominated the acclaimed geneticist and leader of the Human Genome Project, Dr. Francis S. Collins to be the next Chief of the NIH. Dr. Collins is a renowned scientist and an evangelical Christian, who has defended the inherent comparability of science and religious belief. This appointment comes two days, after NIH released it's embryonic stem cell guidelines.

NIH, this year, will dedicate 40 billion dollars for scientific research, which will now be available to scientists involved in embryonic stem-cell research.

The President appoints, the Senate confirms, and Senate confirmation will likely be a smooth process. Dr. Collins supported the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, and lauded the President's decision to repeal the Bush Administration Ban on Funding Embryonic Stem-Cell Research. He has also voiced support for therapeutic cloning. Now wonder he was chosen.
