Abstract
This brief Observation analyzes the multiyear, multiround litigation of Sherley v. Sibelius, in which plaintiffs, adult stem cell researchers, challenged the NIH policy of funding human embryonic stem cell research as in violation of the so-called Dickey-Wicker Amendment, an appropriations rider that prohibits HHS from funding "research in which" an embryo is destroyed.
Keywords: Human embryonic stem cell research, Dickey-Wicker, administrative law, federal funding
