After vetoing a bill to allow life-saving technology purely for his own religious reasons, he then made a speech about it in a room with some babies. He made some comment like "these boys and girls remind us that we all start out as a small collection of cells". I think it was a disgusting stunt that unfortunately most of the American public will not be able to see through. Some of those babies may grow up to suffer from some of the diseases that the vetoed bill could've helped to cure. Or their parents or grandparents might end up with the diseases.
An embryo is NOT a human life. It is a few cells. You could kill more cells by simply scratching your skin with your fingernails. I think the religious freaks need to take a look at how selfish they are being. Who are they to tell people they can't have a cure, just because it offends them?

Quote from Answer 6: "or some of those baby's might grow up to find a cure to those diseases without using stem cells...could happen..."
Yes and in the meantime thousands will suffer.

Bad choice
I wonder if he really even knows what it is, stem cell research, and what it could do for mankind.
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's , and Cancer are terrible diseases and should be cured if possible.

George Bush offends me, yes. He used his religion to get elected, then allowed greed to keep our men at war. He doesn't know anything about cells, this is another political move for republicans. The religious people are as ignorant of the facts as he is, they just follow. By the way, they use dead fetuses for research, not live ones.

First, this really belongs on Yahoo! Manifestos (coming soon) but...
My favorite part was when he said the U.S. taxpayers have never payed for a project that would purposley kill embyos...
I guess they made sure there weren't any pregnant Japaneese women before they started the Manhattan Project.

Yeah, but it's easy to become numb to politicians using everything as a photo-op. I think he paid off the Hard-Right Bible Thumping crowd with this veto today.....

I agreee with U .....................how would a politician or just a double standarded diplomatic man understant the imporatnace of a life saving technology...................if he has no idea of it who is hwe to decide its future.............
I would say by vitoing this bill, Bush has murdered thousands of people to make his crime list long..............
His stupid diplomacy has killed more peple than Laden would have ever killed...............
I think its time to veto out Mr. Bush

I completely agree with you. It bugs me that he puts his religion over something that could help save lives. People say there is separation of church and state, but I don't think that is so with the Bush administration.

Bravo! Doesn't that mentality remind you of the Devlish control that the Christians had over medieval Europe?
