Should President Bush veto any bill that allows for the funding of Stem Cell Research?

i say yes, only because it will end up being abused if it were to go through.

How could it be abused?

There are many positives to be gained from the research. To veto it 'in case it is abused' would be absurd.

You might as well ban everything that can be abused; cars, firearms.........

I voted 'No', and Senator Dr. Bill Frist's comments in this article are a key reason why. He has a better grasp of all the issues that revolve around stem cell research than anyone else in the Senate, so if he believes this bill balances the need for research with the need to respect life, then I would discourage Bush from vetoing it.

Excellent point of view. But is the issue really about President Bush or about Christian Conservatives pressuring the GOP? I’m not sure, which is why I’m asking. Conservative Christians in America are a lot like the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. They have gained a significant amount of political power by advocating the religious hard-line and supporting politicians who enforce that line.

Very good point, and evidenced by the fact that polls suggest that 70% of Americans support stem cell research, yet Bush is threatening to veto it and it appears unlikely Congress could override him.
