Why did Bush veto stem cell research?

Question

Here is a chance to enhance medical research, and find possible cures to many diseases, including Parkinson's; so why did the president refuse it!?

Answer 1

It is about money, this was no moral decision, that is to mask what is really going on. Think about it. If cures to disease is found then the pharmaceutical company's would loose much in profit. Diabetes's alone and its medication cost the American people 1 trillion dollars a year. Much of this money goes to these company's. Bush is anti American people, pro big business and this is just more proof.

Answer 2

If you let me disect the brains of people 50yrs and older while they're still alive, I'd have a chance to cure parkinsons and alzhimers. In fact I'd probably have a better chance than if I used baby cells. Both are equally imoral. Are you really willing to sacrifice (better said harvest) live human being for the CHANCE at a cure.

The ends do not justify the means. Thank you Mr. Bush for having both a spine and a concience on this one.

Answer 3

He has serious concerns about the use of embryos as "spare parts". I agree. These are the true seeds of human life....each one can grow to become a child and who are we to use this human seed to experiment.
Now, the research on embryonic stem cells is still going on and lots of money is being spent on it, just not government money.
Also, there are other avenues of research that may make the debate mute since they seem to solve the issue of even having to use ebryonic stem cell.

Why do we allow so many "extras" to be created in the IVF process? That steems wrong to me. If you would allow an embryo to waste away in a freezer, I am not sure you should be allowed to have one implanted. Seems cruel and selfish. There has to be a way to limit their numbers to prevent this.

Answer 4

He didn't.

Stem cell research is perfectly legal, and furthermore, it is being funded by the Federal government as we speak.

President Bush vetoed a bill which would have allowed for the destruction of human embryos that could otherwise grow into children, if given a chance, just so those genetically unique human beings could be harvested for cells to be used in medical research.

Isn't killing people to conduct medical research that might help other people the exact same thing that Nazi scientists did when they experimented on the prisoners in their concentration camps?

In fact, if Bush had signed the bill into law, it would have forced all American taxpayers to pay for the destruction of human embryos for the purposes of medical experimentation. Many Americans believe that the destruction of a human embryo is murder, regardless of the circumstances. Would you have our government force some of its citizens to pay for what they believe is murder?

Answer 5

George Bush vetoed federal funding for embryonic stem cellular analyze as a results of the indisputable fact that is inaccurate. Being in politics calls for understanding the adaptation between accurate and incorrect, and for the reason that 2/3 of congress of route don't have this perception, Mr. Bush had to step ahead. unwell admit, he's done issues i do not approve of interior the previous, yet each baby-kisser has. notwithstanding,l Mr. Bush is amazingly on a challenge for God, that is why he would not supply a damn about his approval score. (He would not might want to be stricken about yet another election in any case)

Answer 6

For moral issues, he vetoed stem cell research using stem cells harvested from embryos. He does not object to stem cell research using the current lines or from harvested adult stem cells. His objection is based on destroying a life (an embryo) in order to possible save a life. His prerogative to do so. If you object, contact your representatives to override the veto.

Answer 7

He thinks that the fetus is a living human being. We are only talking a couple of cells here and they are going to be disposed of already. I am really against him on this. It could lead to the next big thing

call your senators and congressman tomorrow and tell them. Email them too. They can over ride the veto if they choose to .

Answer 8

He says its for the sanctity of human life.

Bush doesnt care about life, only the monetary bottom line and political special interests that support him such as the xtian coallition who support israel, jews, and oppose the freedom for abortion, and stem cell research. Some say he doesnt oppose it he only opposes part of it and no fed funds for it. Still he promised his xtian coalition that he would veto it and overturn roe v wade and he has done his best. One group of people controlling everyone is not freedom.

Answer 9

His Fraudulency vetoed Stem Cell funds because he has to throw a bone to the Bible Nazis to get them out of their pews and into voting booths this November. They are starting to realize they are being played though.

Answer 10

He didn't veto stem cell research. He vetoed Federal Funding of increased research. Privately funded research is still allowed. Federal funding of research that was previously allowed is still allowed.
