What I really don't understand here is that from what I watched on news tonight, the funding that W vetoed would be of research using embryos that have already been created in fertility clinics and are slated to be destroyed. What is the problem with trying to derive some benefit from them?

As a taxpayer then I don't care to kill others in a war! However I'm required to pay taxes for that!

Bloomberg.com: Worldwide

Bush's first veto was issued for a previous attempt to fund embryonic stem-cell research. His second veto as president came earlier this year on a measure that would have set a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

My guess is that you shouldn’t have it both way; you can’t send men and women to a war to kill and get killed, and you disallow the taking of embryos because it is taking a potential life (killing).

You can’t have it both ways.
Anti abortion and pro-war ~ killing is killing isn’t it?
He is a hypocrite. What is the big deal to use them if they are going to be destoyed anyway?

I don’t think that the war then was built on lies and false information given to the people at the time. This president and administration continues to lie and falsify information to the public, they are pathological liars and criminals. Unlike the war with Britain.

Some people care about protecting the life of unborn babies and some think they should be killed at will, war or no war.

Harvesting humans at any point in development is just wrong.
