because China is already working on it and they will probably be able to perfectly clone a human before we are even started. I am not against President Bush or anything because I don't get involved in a lot of government stuff. But yet I still think this was a big mistake.

I also agree with answerman that morality shouldn't be legislated by government.

I am a diabetic and this research holds the most promise of curing this and many other tragic diseases and he should have not vetoed it on the moral grounds that he will veto it on. Morality should not be legislated by government as everyone has a different idea of what it is.

First of all everyone, let us get our facts straight. When he vetoes this bill, he will NOT be denying funding for Stem Cell research. He will be denying ADDITIONAL GOVT. FUNDS. The United States already FUNDS 90% of the worlds Stem Cell research. Look it up.
Former President Bubba Clinton also denied funding by the govt. for Stem cell research.
It is not the governments job to supply funding to every area or idea that people find a need for. What causes the majority of our deficit? Social programs, not the war. This would be the perfect time for a private sector company to step up and take control of this.
I am all for Stem Cell research as long as we do NOT create life just to destroy it. Embryonic stem cell research does NOT yield much better results than the cells gathered from Umbilical Cord Blood.

Wether destroying human embryos is murder or not is not for me to decide. My sister is a med student. She has had to open up live dogs and different sorts of animals just to watch them how a drug affects their organs or how removing an organ makes them ill and die. This is a small price to pay for a doctor who will take care of thousands of patients in their life. If I were Bush I would fund new stem cell lines and research. The cure to many horrible diseases may be waiting to be discovered in stem cell research.
For those people who think destroying embryos is murder, I would like them to know that the first time a baby kicks it isn't because he is alive, since the nerves are not connected to the brain just yet. The kick is a mucle spasm caused by a reflex. I would also like them to know that the heart starts beating before it is connected to the brain. In short, it appears to be alive yet how can we say it is alive if the nervous system is not working at all, yet.

I'm not for stem cell research and I don't want my tax dollars going to this cause. I won't have my money going to promote the farming and killing of human beings so that a few can live longer. This bill was about federal funding for research.
If you feel strongly for, maybe you should donate your own money. I doubt you will since people rarely care once it hits them in the wallet.
He didn't veto it on moral grounds. You might be surprised to learn that science has proven that embryos are human beings.
You may be on to something with your drug company conspiracy, (HaHa) why don't you pursue it and get some proof.

I think Bush is a moron for vetoing the bill last year, and threaten to veto it this year. I mean come on, he’s done so much bad for this country and the second he has a chance to SEMI redeem himself with stem cell research that would benefit humanity by enabling cures for critical diseases such as HIV, Parkinsons, Alztimers, etc. Why would you not want to help end human suffering from diseases?
I believe the big drug companies are filling Mr Bush's pockets with money, why? Because the drug company make their money not by curing diseasing but by controling.

Yes, the possible benefits of stem cell research far outway any moral scruples people might have in the use of non human embryos. I do not consider a fetus a human.

I consider myself a conservative and agree with most of the President's positions but I do think he should have signed this bill. We need to be taking every step needed to see what can be done with this research.

I think he is acting on his interests and beliefs and not ours. If the legislature realized there are many people in this country that support it-why isn't the president representing the wishes of the people?
Thats the problem with electing a conservative, religious, fanatic.

He should have passed this bill, definately. I have a sister with Multiple Sclerosis, it is horrible, and this research can find a cure!
