[QUOTE="niccolai:463644"]taken from another forum: "A couple of points here about STR. In 2001, Bush announced that the government would fund research on existing stem-cell lines. He did, not, however, want federal funds to encourage anyone to kill human embryos to derive more stem-cells. He thus refused to fund research on stem-cell lines after the funding was announced. Majik makes some good points in his previous thread about the private sector aspect of research going on. Another bill being proposed would fund research on stem cells taken from adults' tissues and umbilical cord blood. The evidence that I've looked at would indicate far greater promise with adult tissue and cord blood. You also have to be wary of polls. We've been fed the 70% figure by the mainsteam press for Americans supporting stem cell research. A probable more accurate figure is a recent poll conducted by CBS which indicated a 58-31% favor of STR. However, that support drops substantially when it is clear that the research would be tax-payer funded and destroy human embryos. CBS asked this again, and the numbers switched 48-37% in favor of the President. Of course, the mainstream press didn't report that. So in reality, I think that some of you are expressing exaggerated "outrage" against Bush. No one should be surprised by his veto. Like it or not, he stuck by his principles. Now if it were Clinto, Gore or Kerry, they almost assuredly would have supported it. No one should be surprised by that either. "[/QUOTE]
