"Our innovative spirit is making possible incredible advances in medicine that can save lives and cure diseases," said the President. However, "America is also a nation founded on the principle that all human life is sacred. And our conscience calls us to pursue the possibilities of science in a manner that respects human dignity and upholds our moral values."
According to www.wikipedia.com, "the creation of a human embryonic stem cell line requires the destruction of a human embryo." "The president does not believe it's appropriate to put an end to human life for research purposes. That's a line he will not cross," said spokesman Tony Snow.
Instead, Bush has called the Health and Human Services Department to discover other ways of researching that would not destroy human life. The article on www.wikipedia.com goes on to say that "researches at Advanced Cell Technology of Worcester, MA, succeeded in obtaining stem cells from mouse embryos without killing them. If this technique and its reliability are improved, it would alleviate many of the ethical problems related to embryonic stem cell research."
Other possible ideas include researching "adult stem cells, umbilical cord blood, and amniotic fluid, none of which involve the destruction of a human embryo," states the same article on www.news.yahoo.com.
However, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY, disagrees. "This is just one example of how the President puts ideology before science, politics before the needs of our families, just one more example of how out of touch with reality he and his party have become," said Clinton at a Take Back America conference of liberal activists on Wednesday.
And Barack Obama, Democratic presidential hopeful, said in an article on www.news.yahoo.com, that "Bush was 'deferring the hopes of millions of Americans who do not have the time to keep waiting for the cure that may save or extend lives.'"
If the bill does become law, taxpayers would be compelled to fund embryonic stem cell research.
