I've noticed how time and time again "W" has given unending support to his financers, even at the cost of American Citizen's well being. I believe he is using the "moral" excuse to justify his veto, but the truth may be in the question "Who will be hurt from stem cell research?" and the conclusion seems to me that it would hurt the Drug and Health companies. Think about it, if we find cures to diseases then we will not need to take so many drugs anymore. Stem Cell could lead to MANY cures and that would hurt companies that "need" us to be sick and on medications. Do you think this is possible?

hear up -- grownup stem cellular is federally funded. there's a small volume of federal investment for embryonic stem cellular - yet basically for cutting-edge discarded embryos, no longer for clean ones. Embryonic stem cellular study isn't banned - it in simple terms isn't funded by utilising your tax funds. If Bush have been professional-pharma in this one, he'd be throwing truckloads of tax funds at inner maximum industry. And - the only progression that has been made is with grownup stem cellular study - no longer lots has come from the embryonic area because of the fact it sort of feels to reason tumors in quite some the tests. Are you quite so naive which you do no longer think of that people might make fertilized embryos in simple terms to sell them to study labs?

The government is not going to make a drug with the results of these studies so his veto does nothing to encourage their profits in fact it makes their profits less since they would have to fund the studies of embryonic stem cells on their own before seeing if it worked to produce some drug. He is doing it since many, as do I, do not want to see embryos destroyed.

His stated reason is the reason he rejects it & I agree with it. Embryonic stem cell research has produced 0 cures. That's right, 0 cures. Where as other stem cell research has produced 17 potential cures as of last count. This without destroying one human embryo.
There's a BIG flaw in your argument & that's that the "drug & health" companies that you cite as being hurt actually benefit since they're the ones who will own & control distribution of any cure found & henceforth reap the benefits of our tax dollar.

Remember, he did not veto stem cell research, he veto'd government funding of stem cell research. If this really is the end all medical cure for everything, why is it that it is so difficult to find private funding? Trust me, discovering the new asprin would be worth a fortune, investors just don't believe the hype.
If capitalists won't invest, and people like Gates and Buffett (who have both donated big time to medical research) won't invest, why should I invest my tax dollars?

This is the president who told his family and friends God told him to run for office.
Instead of viewing stem cell research as a way to cure those already living, he views it as killing a baby. As do many right-wing, pro-life, let's go kill a bunch of people in a war, supporters.
Instead of taking the moral stance of "gee we could save thousands of children and adults from this one stem cell" the moral stance is "oh you're taking a human life, even if it was made in a labratory."
Bush has taken his fundamental beliefs and mixed them with his politics...though his politics aren't any better.

If the drug companies are going to profit as you claim, why should the taxpayer pay for the research? His "real reason" is the real reason, you a liberal by chance?
