Those embryos are stored here, and may stay here indefinitely after the couple is finished having children."95-percent of the people either throw them away or donate them to science.

About half will donate to research.

Five years ago, President Bush set stem cell policy by limiting funding for stem cell research, and allowing only a limited number of stem cell lines to be used.

Two Bills currently working their way in Congress may lift some of the restrictions set down by the Bush administration.

Two weeks ago, Dr.

Foulk met with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist in Washington to talk about pushing through the legislation.
