Stem cell research: Is President Bush blocking important medical research?

Article Abstract:

The US President George W. Bush has used his veto power to stop a bill that would have increased federal funding for research on embryonic stem cells (ESCs) on July 19, 2006. The president and other conservatives believe that the morality forbids destroying additional embryos, regardless of the cells' treatment-producing potential, however the ESC-research supporters believe that the cells' life-saving potential outweighs the misgivings over destruction of in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryos, most of which will be discarded.
