Bush Does not get the Stem Cell Argument!

from JoeUser Forums


George W. Bush is again threatening to Veto a new bill that would allow Federal Funding of Stem Cell Research. He argues that we can not destroy human life. What the President does not seem to get is the frozen stem cells that are left over from in-vitro fertilization will be destroyed as medical waste. The choice is not between life and destruction of these cells. The choice is destruction by incineration as medical waste or destruction to seek cures for disease. The Bush answer will destroy these cells with NO benefit to anyone and if he prevents their use in federally funded research they will not become human life and will ultimately be destroyed. WHY does Bush not understand this simple fact?

It is time to allow this funding and I hope Congress will override a Bush VETO!

It's amazing how Gene doesn't worry about the deficit when it comes to social programs.

You just ignore that if stem cell research were to find a cure for just ONE major illness it would save Billions in Medicare and Medicaid costs. Look at the research using stem cells as an investment! Just think of how much more you and the rich can pile up so you can try and take it with you by saving the cost to treat diseases that might be cured! I would be happy for all the people that would avoid the suffering a major disease causes such as my wife’s cancer and my late step-sons diabetes.
