He says that it takes innocent lives, but he doesnt seem too worried about the innocent lives that are being taken in Iraq.

I find it sad that Bush chose his first veto to be something that the majority of his employers (We The People) want.
I find it sad that 250 embryos are going to be thrown in the trash this week because Bush chose fundamentalist religion over science and the will of the people.
I find it sad that thousands will die as a direct result of his decision, in addition to the thousands that have already died as a result of his decisions.
I find it sad that researchers are using contaminated stem cells, while fresh ones are destroyed daily.
It's not ironic. It's just sad...

No, he said he would (did he actually veto it already?).
What is ironic is that he already authorized stem cell research on a given set of stem cell lines. I think the bill was to find ways to create additionl stem cell lines as those that exist are few and hard to get.
The other irony is that in many cases the stem cells that people want to use are likely embryos that are going to be discarded anyway (e.g. from fertillity labs). So they wouldn't really lead to a child anyway.

Actually, I am neither surprised nor find it ironic. I was surprised that the Senate and the House passed it. I truly think both houses passed it knowing that Bush would veto it as part of a election-year stunt. Bush has nothing to lose, so he won't be harmed by the veto. However, the GOP can use this issue with the people who have lost touch with the Republican party to maintain their majority in both houses.

ok right here is going...Embryonic stem cells are a similar aspect as stem cells taken from cord blood, or maybe stem cells on your body. A stem cellular is only a cellular that has no longer lengthy gone by differentiation yet. That merely signifies that it's not particular what form of cellular that it will be at the same time as it matures. like the cellular does no longer comprehend if it will be a blood cellular or a liver cellular, etc. So, what's the version in getting stem cells from an embryo you should kill or getting them from cord blood? cord blood is drawn from each infant born contained in the united states to attempt for ailment, why no longer strive against to have what blood is left over after attempting out to be despatched to analyze labs and not in any respect kill those embryos. GWB, and all of his faults, isn't hostile to stem cellular analyze yet is hostile to EMBRYONIC stem cellular analyze.

It is not only ironic, but very very sad. Stem cell research is the only hope that many people have to cure Alzheimer and by vetoing that bill he is not only condemning many people to wither away with the disease but also condemning their families who have to care for them and watch them, while knowing that this research might just be the answer to their prayers.

NO, I do not find it ironic. He does not even connect the dots.
And he knows if either he or his family or his cronies need that sort of treatment, they can get it in Europe. In fact, I have heard that Billy Graham got treatments in Europe. I am not being critical. I think Billy Graham is the greatest Godly evangelist there has ever been or ever will be.

But stem cells don't increase his stock value that he holds in petroleum company shares.

Yes, very ironic; and Bush is MORONIC!
The stem cells are just that "CELLS" not life. They can possibly help people - he KILLS people.
