Stem Cell Research Veto

I heard on the news that President Bush vetoed the stem cell research bill again. When showing a clip of his response after doing so he states "to take a life to save a life is unethical".

I dont want this to turn into a political/Bush bashing debate. I dont know what this bill entailed for him to make that statement so could someone help me. I know an arguement against it has been the concern of increased abortions. WHy would they think that? Will the woman get a stipend for terminating their pregnancies & donating/selling the remains?

I will admit that I am a bit naive about how the anti stem cell research side is thinking. IF they have valid reasons I would like to know them. IF they are just working off of their "moral" thoughts I would like to know that also.

Any input from you wordly, politically involved & knowledgable people?

I saw that on the news today. I don't understand the specifics either.

Our stem cells research bills have passed in Australia, yahhhhhh <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> and the UK are doing stem cell research too.

THere is NO evidence that embryonic stem cells cure or heal any disease. There is evidence that adult stem cells work fine. The best results in stem cell research have been placental and cord stem cells, as well as stems cells harvested from adult donors for use in their own bodies. There is no reason to kill babies to get stem cells.

Also, people may be compelled to destroy life in order to promote research. It's unacceptable.
