A Senate panel today approved a bill that would ban the creation or destruction of an embryo for embryonic stem cell research.
The move comes on the same day that President Barack Obama lifted limits on using federal dollars for such studies.
Critics say the bill would hinder embryonic stem cell research, and harm the biotech industry.
Supporters say it would protect human life in its earliest form.
