Bush vetoes embryonic stem-cell bill

[sparks19]

Not everyone makes a CHOICE to lose their Embryos. Remember that.

Sorry I brought this a little close to home. I must depart from this thread.

I apologize if this issue hits you close to home. I never meant to make any of this personal.

I have to apologize. You didn't make it personal. i did and that was foolish of me to do.

Let me clarify my position. I don't advocate the creation of embryos (how dow you spell that anyway?) just to make stem cells. But, when people do IVF, extras are made in the process. The fate of these "extras" is to be destroyed. I would much prefer that the option be provided to the parents of the extra embryos to choose to have them used for scientific research, or not.

The possibility of being able to do true regenerative medicine boggles the mind.

Smokey the Elder,

I agree with you 100%. I believe that they at least give the parents the option of destroying them or donating them. If it were ME, I'd donate them. If it can bring someone a medical miracle, they by all means!! But that's me. Everyone else has their own opinion and I respect that.

I also believe (while I'm on my soapbox) that Bush is vetoing with his religious beliefs and not with his common sense. But again, it's my opinion.
