California and UK Government to Jointly Fund Stem Cell Research

According to the BBC, an agreement was just signed

"between the UK and California to make it easier to obtain joint funding for stem cell research. Under the deal, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine will fund the work of California team members while the UK's Medical Research Council will pay for work carried out in Britain."

Comment: This suggests that due to the religious ideology which the Bush administration has imposed on the U.S. federal government, the British may be more likely to benefit economically from the stem cell research which the Government of California has taken the initiative to fund than is the rest of the United States.
