It directs the NIH to pursue alternate forms of research. But...
Sean Tipton, president of the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, expressed anger and disgust at the veto and Bush's order.
"His executive order directing NIH to continue pursing
alternate forms of research is nothing new since NIH has already been conducting this research for the past 20 years," Tipton said.
(((moron)))

Kind of like ordering a hen to lay eggs.

I did a web search on Mr. Tipton. His political views are clear enough for those who do the research. No reason for other Yahoo! Answers posters to listen to me. Of course he is upset. It means he can't wiggle free to avoid such research or minimize it and keep encouraging people to suggest that President Bush is leaving buildings empty. President Bush made clear: fill them with research on alternative methods.
Mr. Tipton isn't interested in that.

Basically put, they are no real reasons to stop this, because apparently most countries excepted the mighty USA can extract stem cells from Adult materials. But for some reason the debate in USA is still surrounding stem cells in embryo (early stage of baby development), which are not necessary anymore...
This debate is just to divide people over surperficial things...

He wants the research to continue.
Bush is NOT BANNING stem cell research... he is banning federal money being spent on that research.
If Stem Cell research was so promising, private funding would be flooding in like crazy, and quite a bit of private funding has been spent. Still nothing all that promising though.
Bush does not believe human life should be created for the purpose of being destroyed.... and that is one of the few things I can agree with Bush on.

If Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid sent President Bush a bill that said the sky was blue he would veto it. He thinks he is in bed with God and believes he is as powerful.
We are evolving and recreating ourselves--not even God can change that.

Bush did the right thing. Many people don't believe in embryonic stem cell research and for the government to fund it means that our beliefs would not have been honored.
Private industry can still fund embryonic stem cell research so if it has any merit they will fund it.
It's not up to the government to fund such controversial issues.

I am glad you understand the issue. It seems most people who complain about it have no idea what is really going on.

Let the Stem Cell research begin! Watch some other country do great things with this and we will be left in the dust.
