Stem Cells and Bush
With the U.S. Senate debating legislation to expand federal funding for stem cell research, George W. Bush is threatening his first veto. Bush opposes using “federal taxpayer dollars to support and encourage the destruction of human life for research.” Yet he has spent over $300 billion federal taxpayer dollars to actually destroy human life in Iraq. And if destroying a handful of cells constitutes the destruction of human life, why is he not proposing legislation to criminalize stem cell research and the destruction of unused embryos from in vitro fertilization? Because he is hypocritically pandering to his right-wing base while trying to avoid complete alienation of the vast majority of Americans who favor stem cell research.
