Do you support or oppose Bush's veto?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

Oppose......these are embryos that are scheduled for destruction, they have no chance for life. I'm especially pissed because I have MS. I'm 26 years old, served my country, and the second I get out to live my life as a civilian, I get struck down with this sh**. I'd give anything to walk normal again and live my life like everyone else. I could benefit from this research, as well as millions of others who suffer from MS, Parkinsons, and other nervous system related dideases. Instead, Bush would rather be a horse's *ss and stick to his ridiculous point of view. I hope this veto is worth it to him when he is burning in hell for causing pain and suffering to millions of people. Chalk another one up for our dumb *ss president!!

Answer 2

Bush's veto on embryonic stem cell research will cause a lot of debate. While I normally agree with the majority of his decisions, this is one that I feel could benefit a vast majority of people through out the world. But I still admire a man who has convictions and sticks by them, sometimes making decisions that may not be popular.

His veto does not affect stem cell research like most Democrats would want you to believe. Stem cell research is still carried out through out many countries. If there is any medical benefit from it we will all still benefit. Its just that the research will not be carried out in the US. Big deal.

Answer 3

I am mid way on this. I think to support it whole heartedly, this thing can be mistreated and people with loose morals will take advantage of this.

The argument is that they can use embryos form the fertility clinics that have failed, however, that in itself is a little towards the immoral side. Same is the case with abortions. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for MTP (medical termination of pregnancy) for obvious medical reasons, but I also know how much that is misused. Failure of contraception is included as a valid reason under MTP. That is by far ridiculous and murderous.

Now, I don’t agree with all that Bush says and does, but I think on this issue someone has to take a stand.

Answer 4

Michael X - It's interesting how you call Bush a mass murderer and still have a problem with him vetoing a bill that would increase mass murder!

I support it whole-heartedly. Even if I weren't a Christian, I'd still listen to the scientists who nearly unanimous that we do not need embryonic stem cells...we have plenty of stem cells already available and they do the EXACT SAME THING!

[IrishMomof3 - Why don't you understand that the stem cells from other sources are already here and aplenty? There is nothing "special" about emryonic stem cells when compared to other types. We don't need to murder babies to use them.]

Answer 5

Support. FULLY SUPPORT!!!!!
Stem cell research can only lead to BAD BAD BAD things.
As I have said before,
or rather Dr. Seuss said:
" A person's a person no matter how small."
And a embryo in a petri dish, labeled for experiment is still a PERSON!
There is statistical proof out there that they have had better POSITIVE results with ADULT stem cell research. And that the experiments on embryonic cells continually fail, and yet they PERSIST.
Where is the media report on that?

Answer 6

Oppose. The bill would only have allowed government funded research on embryos that are going to be destroyed anyway. Doesn't it make much more sense to use them for the benefit of man rather than just throwing them away?

Answer 7

Honestly, Im on the fence.

I see how its essential to ban it, for Bush, as he does not support Abortion, and being someone who believes in abortion only to a limited degree, I agree with him.

On the other hand, they are not really talking about killing fetuses, merely using cells that are still dividing that have yet to become actual fetuses (at 4 weeks or so), and using that to help living suffering people, so for that Im against it.

Answer 8

Bush, whether you like it or not, is our president, a position which he was voted to, and therefore, whether you agree with him or not, he has earned the power to veto, untill 2008. . .

I have to admit, Bush is THE least conservative Conservative Republican in history, but at the time he seemed better than Kerry.

Answer 9

I whole heartedly support the veto of the stem cell bill.

Answer 10

I oppose it because it would give advancement to the medical field for many diseases and help find cures.These are going to be dicarded anyway and it is not like it is abortion. They are cloning and some think that is ok.
