stem cell research? I can't take any more decisions that man makes!!!! I know -- you will say "well then, move somewhere else" --- can't afford to because George Bush screwed us over there too. Anyway, I need to know. Does everyone know how many thousands of people can be helped from stem cell research? Doesn't he realize that some paralized people could be cured through this process? Is he just trying to kill off all of us one at a time or what? He scares the hell out of me!!!!!

Notice how he did it with a bunch of children hovering around him?
What a ploy!

Bush calls it murder however Tony Snow his Pres Secretary endorsed investing in it through the private sector. This is all about privatizing America. Only the rich will be able to afford the benefits of stem cell research and at the same time the pharmaceutical companies will not feel loose from providing the medication for the disease that stem cell research can cure. There is not money in the cure for disease the money is keeping you alive spending the money on the medication. Donald Rumsfield was the CEO of Searle a Drug company that has the rights to Tamiflu

How high did Rumsfield stock go up during the Bird flu scare. What ever happen to that by the way. I guess its all gone now. But Rumsfield made his Millions before it was over.
This Administration has there claws in everything that has to do with Big Business. This has nothing to do with Religious beliefs this is about making money. These are the most corrupt people running our government. We have been hijacked by these Neo Cons and people need to wake up.

President Bush, has supported stem cell research, just not embryonic stem cell research.(adult stem cell research)
We all must make ourselves knowledgeable regarding all types of "research," the benefits, the risk and our moral obligations.
It is a thin, careful line we must walk, when we are making a choice to use human embryo's for research and the moral issue has to be part of the equation.
We all know there are people in this world that will do anything to make a buck, even sell there body parts
and embryo's, if given the opportunity.
Research using adult stem cells, has shown some promise,so why not continue with the stem cells available,and let the embryonic stem cells...be.

AAGGHH!! He did not veto stem cell research. He vetoed spending more of our tax dollars on stem cell research. Private firms and individuals are still free to do the research on their own (which is how it should happen anyway, it is not hte governments job to engage in medical research).
Plus, toss into the mix that stem cell research has not actually produced a single cure, vaccine, or ALMOST cure. Meanwhile, there are plenty of researchers who HAVE found cures and vaccines by using other, more ethical, cells. Why not concentrate on something that works and is more ethical rather than something that is a shot in the dark?
As for your question about curing people who are paralyzed... if you had actually done some research you would know that adult cells have actually LED to paralyzed people walking again and getting some movement and feeling back. Meanwhile (and I repeat myself, I know) stem cells continue to produce nothing.

How can you think that letting people die off here today is wrong but not see just how wrong it is for conception to take place then to kill it before its even out of a fetus just to get stem cells????
you probably don't understand the reason of why he did what he did but when and if you do you'll see just how right he was..
he did the Americans a great thing with a veto on that bill!!!

All I ask is for you to do is think. Here read some on this and then think for your self. Do not let the talking heads on TV think for you.
Scientists know that claims of imminent cures of disease using embryonic stem cells are junk science, whereas progress in adult stem cell research has been nothing short of spectacular. It is unfortunate that the mainstream media have exaggerated the prospects for embryonic stem cell research while ignoring the real results achieved with adult stem cells.
Though embryonic stem cell research advocates euphemistically refer to the current state of research as an "early stage," the unfortunate reality is the goal of embryonic stem cell therapies is, at this point, more accurately described as a pipe dream. No researcher is anywhere close to significant progress in developing practical embryonic stem cell therapies.
The fact that adult stem cells have already produced remarkable cures, whereas embryonic stem cells have failed in this regard, should not come as a great surprise to anyone with a background in high school biology.
Difficulties abound with proposed embryonic stem cell therapies. The growth of the more primitive embryonic stem cells is more difficult to control and leads to tumor formation.
experimental surgery using stem cells from adult organs is showing promise in helping patients paralyzed with spinal cord injuries.

there is no longer some thing in our lives that a Trucker does no longer contact. and there is no longer some thing in our lives that George Bush would not look to shrink to rubble. If Diesel prices do not come down each component from the foodstuff we devour to the programs we deliver will force the top clientele cost up. the top consumer being the traditional American citizen. The Bush administration has no longer only damage united states interior the present yet also shrink a deep scar in our u . s . which will deface this u . s . always.

He vetoed federal money being dumped into an endless pit . Embryonic stem cell research has accomplished nothing. His veto doesn't stop the research just fed. funds . But you go right ahead and give as much money as you want Billions are being donated by private industry.

he vetoed federal funding,,, which could not only cost millions of lives,,, but those depending on the scientific research available to advance,, could continue a life of suffering,,, if God does not strike George W Bush with some kind of crippling disease filled with pain and struggle,,, there's no justice in the world,,,,

It was a political stump. It's to ensure that the voters out there that are against it will go to the polls in November and vote against anyone that is for it.
Yes people, we have found the "gay marriage" issue of the 2006 election cycle.
