Bush vetoes a bill towards to promoting of stem cell resarch. This is the second time he has vetoed a stem cell bill. He vetoed similar embryonic stem cell legislation last July. Bush said, "If this legislation became law, it would compel American taxpayers for the first time in our history to support the deliberate destruction of human embryos. I made it clear to Congress and to the American people that I will not allow our nation to cross this moral line."
I think that Bush has explained his actions well, although I think cutting the funds to the research cause is harsh. This is a example of executive powers. He vetoes the bill and the senate doesn't have 2/3 of congress to overide the order.

I agree, i think funding something as complicated as stem cell research would seems great now, but once the taxing and the money issues arrise, the public's opinion will be different
I agree with you too. Cutting the funding completely does seem a little harsh, but Bush is right in his stance. One can't be humanitarian on this issue. By support stem cell research and patients, you're simultaneously condemning human embryos. This issue can't be solved yet. Not to mention that it would affect the Abortion clause. If the argument basses itself on if it is morally wrong to sacrifice embryos, it touches on questioning if embryos should be seen as potentially living babies, or just cells. It's so touchy, but Bush is doing right by sticking to his stance.
I disagree with Bush's action to veto the bill. In the medical field, stem cell research is a medical technology research that important to cure ALL diseases such as cancer and parkinson.
