Friday President Obama announced he's issuing an Executive Order removing limitation on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
Governor Jim Doyle says Wisconsin is home to embryonic stem cell research and the state “at the ground floor of a field of discovery that represents tremendous promise to improve and save lives."
On the other side, the Vatican is not so pleased.
In its Saturday newspaper it reiterated Catholic teaching, saying embryonic stem cell research is "deeply immoral."
In 2001, President George W. Bush imposed the executive order prohibiting the use of federal funds to support the research.
Obama's Executive Order is expected on Monday.
