Stem-Cell Challenge Turned Away by Judge

 

A judge dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging the Obama administration's regulations for expanded embryonic stem-cell research funding.
 
Several groups, including Nightlight Christian Adoptions, researchers, potential embryo adoptive parents and the Christian Medical Association, filed the suit.
 
Ron Stoddart, executive director of Nightlight, said the judge ruled none of them had standing to bring the lawsuit.
 
"We were very disappointed," he said.  "You know, when you go up against the government, you are always at a disadvantage."
