Veto Stem cell research on the grounds of BASIC human ethics?

Question

So the possibility that we can use Stem cells harvested from our own fat should be vetoed on basic human ethics because of a now obsolete practice of harvesting them from embryo’s?

Additionally we should fear for our lives that they might be used to clone a human that might some how harm an all omnipotence being watching over us that could easily stop it if he wanted. But of coarse Jane bible thump down the street knows more then me about what god is thinking at this moment. And for some reason this being chose a house wife with a page turning disorder to enforce divine guidance.

for these reasons in a country with the freedom of religion, we should veto government spending on a science that could possibly end the greatest illnesses of our time.. like Diabetes, heartdesease, AIDS...

Ya makes sense to me.. good thing some one gave me a clue.

American research results droped from 60% of sientific results to 39% after it was banded.

This means we will be flying to korea for treatment.

Answer 1

Here's what Gov. Howard Dean, MD had to say about Bush's stupid veto:
Today George Bush chose political posturing over human life, denying hope to millions of Americans, their families and loved ones who are affected by debilitating diseases.

He used his first-ever veto to stop the discovery of new cures for diseases like juvenile diabetes, leukemia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and many others. More than 70% of Americans from every walk of life -- whether in the faith community, the science lab, the hospital or at the bedside of a sick relative -- and majorities in both chambers of Congress disagree, but that didn't stop him.

The bill he vetoed wasn't a sweeping change -- it was a small, practical measure that would have made a big difference for medical research based on sound science. But the consequences are sweeping: the proposed law would have allowed research on excess embryos generated during processes like fertility treatments -- embryos that would otherwise simply be discarded.

Now is the time to speak out. Send a message to your representatives letting them know that you support cure discovery now:

If George Bush truly believed his rhetoric about stem cells, he would do something about the processes that create the excess embryos in the first place. But he won't. They will continue to go unused (his spokesman limply calls it a "tragedy"), and cures will continue to be beyond our reach.

Bush may not be willing to choose cure discovery over his right-wing base, but the vast majority of Americans support cure research.

Even after his veto, Democrats in Congress will continue to keep the pressure on to get more votes. If Republicans refuse to join the cause and override Bush's veto, it will have to be decided at the ballot box in November. Democrats will continue to fight to keep this hope for the discovery of new cures alive.

The Congress and the rest of the country are paying attention right now, and we have to seize this moment to build the coalition of support for cure discovery. Please add your name to the list of supporters and we'll send your message to your representatives:

As a medical doctor, I'm offended at the political meddling in potentially life-saving research. All of our families could be touched by hope found through stem cell research: from juvenile diabetes to Alzheimer's, it offers the opportunity for new cures. Yet this important research has been dwindling because of restrictions put in place by Bush five years ago.

That's half a decade we have lost. How much longer will those suffering and their families have to wait?

People can disagree in good faith on this issue, but Bush's extraordinary action doesn't meet that threshold -- it smacks of political calculation. The opportunity to save lives of people with debilitating diseases, and to reduce suffering for them and their families, requires that a president respect the will of the people and the Congress.

History will judge this veto as a sad political calculation.

Just a few votes stand in the way. With your support we'll get them -- either now, or in the new Democratic Congress you elect in November.

When we do, we will restore hope through life-saving research and cure discovery.

Thank you.

Governor Howard Dean, M.D.

Answer 2

None of what you have said, while it makes perfect sense, matters. The entire thing was a complete setup. Bush was the only president to serve two terms who had never vetoed a bill...

It was election year politics to the core... him able to veto an issue that rallies his base... OBVIOUS but priceless for sure.

Answer 3

First off, it made sure that tax dollars don't go to the research that could end cancer, Parkinson's, Altzheimer's, quadriplegia, ALS, stuff like that. It didn't ban that, but the bible thumpers plan to finish the job in 2008 if not sooner. It's against God's will.

Answer 4

I surely have under no circumstances understood why a president of a u . s ., may be so ambitious as to deliver individuals to die in a warfare, and opt to guard a cellular rather than those, the cellular ought to help. by using what degree is love given to human existence, that it ought to justify taking of a existence in warfare, over saving a existence with Stem cellular analyze. it is going to probably be the decision of the individuals. in my opinion.

Answer 5

He stopped tax dollars from contributing, that's it.

Money still goes into the research, I don't understand why everyone is throwing such a pissy fit over it.
