even though its obvious the majority of this country supports stem cell research. bush is going to bow to the jesus freaks and use his veto. this is a step back for science.... i hope he gets all the diseases stem cell research could cure all at once and suffers like crazy http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060719/ap_o...DMzBHNlYwM3MDM-

Republicans also pump out how they love Jesus. What was one of the main beliefs of the Christian faith? Help the poor.

Well either way it's weak. They were 4 votes short of the 2/3's needed.

The thing that really frustrates me about this is that these embryoes in question are going to get thrown away anyway, so why not use them for some good?

Seriously. Snow said Bush doesn't want to touch the subject because they have to "murder" the cells. They'd rather just let them die, I guess.

For a long time, I disliked bush-bashing...
but in the past 2 or 3 years it's just become impossible to ignore it anymore.
He knows he's got a guaranteed job until his term is up, he knows he'll live the rest of his life receiving big pension checks and Secret Service escort/guard, and he's just doing whatever the hell is on his own agenda.
You can see it in his policies, you can see it in the way he's essentially just doing what the party wants, and (in the most comical way) you can see it in his recent brash (some might go so far as to say careless) behavior with other world leaders.
He's really starting to look like a daring old fart who's willing to exploit his tenure.
My guess is that his decision on this isn't primarily influenced by the citizens' opinion, the past seems to have shown that he has a reasonable disregard for public opinion. What I'd estimate is behind his decision is what has been driving his other behavior: his own personal opinions. He applies somewhat extreme christian conservatism to his decisions. Therefore, because of his own personal stand on the matter, he's opposed to this sort of stem cell research.
I've never liked his idea of applying christianity to his leadership. I'm a christian, and I'm all for stem cell research. None of the research conducted in the US has ever cost the life of a viable human... it's always used sources of stem cells whose chances of ever having a life were essentially nil. The benefit of countless people and the furtherment of beneficial science grossly outweighs the totally remote chance that a few embryos may have had to live a life.

But if you cure diseases then your buddies who own Big Pharm companies don't get assloads of cash for "treating" them! He's just trying to be nice to his friends, guys, give him a chance.....

His stem cell speech was one of the most offensive, propagandic things I have ever heard/saw. Parents with their children, rambling about ethics and human life. His policy seems to be it's only okay to be killed when you're alive.

Thats stupid. Who do you think stands to make a shitload of money from creating vaccines and gene therapy? Dont for a second think that the Pharmaceutical companies are against stem-cell research. Its a pot of fucking gold to them.

I always have this little vision in my head where Jesus comes back. Standard-fare Ted Nugent look-a-like anglo archtype. The skies part and Jesus descends from the heavens whereupon someone explains to him that Dubya is a Christian.
Jesus laughs so hard the sonic shockwave kills everything within a few kilometers.
