The Imbecile Strikes Again !!
Bush vetoes stem cell bill as promised
AP - WASHINGTON - President Bush cast the first veto of his 5 1/2-year presidency Wednesday, saying legislation easing limits on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research "crosses a moral boundary" and is wrong. "This bill would support the taking of innocent human life in the hope of finding medical benefits for others," Bush said at a White House event where he was surrounded by 18 families who "adopted" frozen embryos not used by other couples, and then used those leftover embryos to have children.

Hey Folks,
The vast majority of the unused, frozen embryos involved here will be thrown in the fertility clinic trash can. Since that is the "taking of innocent life," how will the clinic workers and owners be punished?
Shouldn't such freezing of microscopic - invisible to the eye - embryos be outlawed? If embryos constitute a "human being," it's already murder or at least manslaughter, since clinicians know that most of the embryos they produce will either fail to develop in the woumb or will eventually be discarded - since more embryos are produced than often are needed to institute a pregnancy (hence, the surplus in question)?
This is more Bush bullshit - plain and simple! Another example of unscrupulous, self-serving politicians playing on the stupidity of backward, ignorant dupes; religomatons incapable of differentiating between dogma and ethics.
Legitimate ethical questions can be raised regarding the general topic, but this is not one of them!!

Hi Tom,
The strangest thing about all this is that the media claim the majority of Americans DISAGREE with Bush on the issue of stem cell research. He doesn't care what happens to children, but he does want enough of them to grow up to die in his needless wars. Sondra
