Here is my view:
When you say morally and ethically wrong why explain why you think that.
It all depends on when you think "life" starts. In my opinion it is not right after syngamy..it is months after that. So for me ethics is not a problem.
Another thinng..if you want to talk about morals what about killing animals, killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan and abortion.
Last but not least, what about all the embryo's or eggs thrown away at fertilty clinics? 400,000 of them?

You can potentially cure CANCER, BRAIN DISEASES AND PAKINSON'S ETC..maybe you would care more if like myself you have been personally affected by having a family member sick and DIE. Both my grand parent died from CANCER.

Completely, totally, utterly, 100% DISAGREE with the stupid veto.
The stem cells that are going to be used in the research are stem cells that would otherwise be thrown away. DISCARDED. Why would you throw away stem cells when you could research them to find cures to diseases so many people suffer from? WHY? Because George Bush is an idiot.
Bush allows so many people to be killed in Iraq, he allowed many to die when Katrina hit, and all of a sudden he decides that he is going to do the "right" thing and prevent stem cells destined for the trash to be used in research. Geez.

I think that at least half of the people who think (or rather parrot what the prez says) that it "crosses a moral boundary" would take a flying leap over that boundary if they had a disease that might be cured by stem cell research!
This is the same man who was talking with his mouth full and swearing a few days ago during a conversation with Tony Blair. I'm sorry, but I am truly horrified that someone with so few basic manners and a vocabulary so limited that he's reduced to a good old boy in front of our very eyes is making decisions for us.
People! Please! Educate yourselves and vote accordingly in the future! The life you save could be your own!

I feel that this, and many other current day issues, garner supporters via the most effective marketing propaganda machines in operation. . .
they who can pay to 'slant' news reports to his/her advantage, and reach the greatest numbers of observers... wins!!! Not always a true representation of how the popular vote goes (as we saw in the FL chad count), but definitely how the end report reads...
I don't believe that the stem cell 'issue' should ever have reached the front gates of the white house --- we (THE PEOPLE) supposedly believe in a government principle (and practice) of separation of church and state - supposedly...
and judging just from the answers that are here, above mine, so far - this issue is definitely one of moral judgment. Therefore - Mr President had no business endorsing this subject, with public funding. . . let it go to the private sector ---- especially now that Buffet/Gates millions need new target projects.

well i don't think it should have been vetoed we are gonna have them weather it is vetoed or not so why not use it instead of waisting it and it is a valid means of research bush i just a f u c k up and plus if you had something that could be helped out by stem sell research you would have a different story about ( to all that said they agreed with his veto) plus if you want to preach about morals go do it at church that's what it there for let the rest of that can think on our own do so . let them do research on UNBORN aborted babies there not living so why waist it ? let the gays get married its there life you people think they are gonna go to hell for that then let them and stop worrying about them and worry about your self's

Totally disagree.
If for no other reason than that 70% of citizen want the benefits that stem cell research could produce. And I am sure it wasn't the other 30% that elected him.
There are lots of other reasons but I am not going into these, since I don't want to write a book here. (I could)

I disagree because millions of people die from diseases that can be researched and cured with stem cell research. They're just going to waste!

Disagree. His veto had nothing to do with medicine or research, and everything to do with coddling his fundamentalist political base.
I thought the president was supposed to represent the people. 70% of Americans support stem cell research.

I totally agree with his decision. The bill would cross a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect and it is high time someone took a stand. If you cheapen life by just throwing it away at human will, then you cheapen all of life. It's that simple.s decision.

He doesnt care! He just wants oil, fighting somethere thats not important, getting the country into a bigger debt! While stem cell research can benifit so much important things! but he just doesnt seem to see what it can do!! Also im sure stem cell research doesnt cost Trillion dollars! comparing to the war cost!

I agree. The government should have no business being in the
stem-cell research. It should be privately sponsored, which it
already is. You save a whole lot of taxpayers money.
