Any institution federal funds can be cut off if they engage in stem cell research...
much like all states receive federal hiway funds and the state can be cut off if it does not follow federal guidelines or rules.

California passed state laws to allow stem cell research in facilities that use only private and/or Calif state monies.
Obama tried to break the impass with an Executive Order, but now it's again in the courts.
