Stem Cell Veto

The only recourse for a moron is to try to bring everyone else down to his level of stupidity. Thus the idiot-in-chief can't embrace science and scientific advancement.

Scientists have reacted with anger to US President George W Bush's decision to veto a bill allowing federal funding for new embryonic stem cell research.

They argue it will damage a promising field of medical research.

Leading researchers labelled Mr Bush "hypocritical", "out of touch" and "selfish" over his decision not to sign into law a bill approved by Congress.

Mr Bush argued that the law "crossed a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect".

Polls suggest most Americans back the research, which scientists hope will lead to cures for serious illnesses such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes.

Good. Its about time people start speaking out about this ass's reluctance to accept sound scientific advice. This isn't the 14th century after all.
