The administrative appellate judge was called to decide a dispute over state funding of research projects in the field of embryonic stem cells, both of human origin and of different origin.The same researchers who had promoted the project on human cells (excluding from funding) recognized that "the greater or lesser usefulness of research on" embryonic stem cells of human origin "rather than of any other type can be considered in the current state of controversy in the scientific debate" The State Attorney, representing the Ministry of Health, found that if there is no recognized prevalence among potential research sectors, the option to finance a sector (research on non-human cells) cannot be considered illegitimate. ) instead of the other, since there is a wide discretionary power of the Administration on the matter.
