Stem Cell Funding Veto Posted: 06-22-07 10:33am
So, the stem cell bill which would allow
for federal funding was recently vetoed
because .G.W. indicated that "trading one
human life to save others was not
ethical". Well, what is war, exactly? Do
you think that federal funding should help
pay for stem cell research?

Hey Posted: 06-22-07 12:36pm
I dont think that we should be at war
anymore than we should fund this research.
I beleive that it was Bush's father that
said " I have my opinions but I dont agree
with all of them" It just seems like one
of thos opinions.lol

I thoroughly agree. Bush can exchange
iraqi lives for "freedom", but not an
embryo for alzheimers?

But can't stem cells also be taken from
umbilical cord blood? That would appease
both side is the most part since no
'lives' will be taken for the sake of
another

That is another way I think. I'm not
totally sure however.

others was not ethical".
George Bush lied. No one was trading one
human life to save others. A frozen
non-viable embryo that is going to be
either:
incinerated/thrown away
or
used to save others
is hardly trading a life.
Plus, if he really felt that way, why
doesn't he outlaw it? Embryonic stem cell
research is perfectly legal in this
country.
