Actually, Bush okayed federal funding for adult stem cell research. He didn't (couldn't) ban private research on stem cells derived from discarded embryos, he restricted federal funding of such research. The skin gun appears to use the patient's own adult stem cells, not stem cells derived from human embryos. Much of the "miracle" cures from stem cell research that we hear about recently come from the use of adult stem cell research.
