Bush condemns Korean stem cell research
President says will veto legislation to ease U.S. restrictionsThe Associated Press

Updated: 11:27 a.m. ET May 20, 2005

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Friday said he would veto legislation that would loose restrictions on embryonic stem cell research and expressed concern about human cloning research in South Korea.

“I’m very concerned about cloning,” the president said. “I worry about a world in which cloning becomes accepted.”

White House deputy press secretary Trent Duffy said the work in South Korea amounted to human cloning for the sole purpose of scientific research. “The president is opposed to that,” Duffy said. “That represents exactly what we’re opposed to.”

.....

“I made very clear to Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayer’s money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life — I’m against that,” Bush said. “Therefore, if the bill does that, I would veto it.”

we can outsource all our medical research to the Far East too

it will be illegal to use it here. :grr:

As a scientist and thinking human being, I cannot fathom how incredibly deceptive or stupid Dubya is. Day by day the theocratic radical right is trying to diminish the contributions of science.

Maybe all of these idiots should move to their own 'thought-free' geographic zone, where they can continuously devolve into superstitious, sub-humans... perhaps a large area of Texas.... or within non-coastal Florida....

when someone is stupid enough to clone Bush.

We can create our own Clone Army! Unlimited cannon fodder for the neocons' wars.

It's time to take the gloves off.

The Republican/Bush position on stem cell research results in needless death and suffering.

SAY IT LOUD AND OFTEN

that can help the world.

Nancy Reagan had to suffer the pain herself to see that the Chimp's position is crazy.

When will this madness end!?

Which is why I like to say...

NEW LEADERS FOR A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Stem-cell research WILL be done whether the fetus-lovers like it or not.
There are plenty of places in the world with the technology to do this.

And there's not a damned thing the chimp can do about it since Congress will never pass a law banning it.

california is going it alone on this issue...take that, BushCo!!!

is fine. Killing innocent Afghanis to save innocent Afghanis is fine. Destroying Social Security to save Social Security is fine. Destroying the Constitution to save our democracy is perfectly okay.

But, utilizing cells from cloned sources that would never be viable as individual living creatures to find new ways to advance medicine and save countless lives is wrong.

I'm glad you showed me the light.

I recently read that Australia is in the process of building one of the largest stem-cell research facilities in the world (anyone remember this article?). I discussed this with a few people at work and we felt that this was pay-back to Australia for sending troops to Iraq; that the thugs were planning on outsourcing our research to OZ,i.e., keep the research going, just not here. I felt a bit nutty suggesting this, but that's where my head is right now.

The Korean research and breakthroughs are huge to the future of their economy, as I understand it. This could put them at the forefront of this science.

that the use of federal money, taxpayer’s money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life — I’m against that,” Bush said. “Therefore, if the bill does that, I would veto it.”

But he had no qualms bombing Baghdad and killing thousands of innocents to export his form of "freedom" to the Iraqi people.

What an evil asshole.

nations becomes accepted.

to a miserable old age.

ended up with Alzheimer's or some other ailment that could be benefited by stem cell research?

Fascinatingly pervasive propaganda.

He and Eric Rudolph..the Culture of Life Twins. Both raving lunatics who kill, kill, kill. Christian blood cult whackos!

Imagine two of you.

that required stem cell therapy. I've been a quadriplegic 22 years and someday I'm hoping to be healed. I used to figure it's a pipe dream but recent times have offered reason for real optimism. Guess I'll be traveling overseas once therapies are instituted. I hate that bastard beyond all reason!

They talk out of many sides of their mouths.

“I’m very concerned about cloning,” the president said. “I worry about a world in which cloning becomes accepted.”

I can bet you that Bush really has no idea what the word "cloning" means... especially in this context. He probably thinks that the South Koreans are busy making body-doubles of babies (I'm quite serious).

-P

has a simplistic idea of what cloning is all about. I know people who have ten times the brain capacity that Dubya has and are ignorant of the scientific value of cloning, i.e. "I wouldn't really want to be cloned", "It's not natural", etc.

It's called "identical twins".

Illegal invasion and the "justification" for which nothing but lies. Sixteen-hundred plus US soldiers dead and scores of thousands of Iraqis dead. Osama bin Laden. Record deficits. Stagnating wages. Torture. Environmental degradation. Support of terror regimes around the world, etc.

How about those things George? Ignorant fascist.

:rant:

This idiot couldn't be a bigger joke. He'll go down in history as our most clueless president. Chasing loser programs around while refusing to do his job.

It's unbelievable. It's friggin' unbelievable.

What Bush condems anymore? Does he not realize his favor with the world is next to nothing?

Ignorant, clueless, dubious, derisive, distasteful, smarmy, nasty, repulsive, etc. Now for his admirable qualities, uh, wracking my brain...... uh, zero.

I would not condem you to parkinson's you pathetic chimp faced war monger. Why are you condeming me every frackin' day with pain and embarresment? You know the reason why I want stem cell is because I dont want to drill holes in my head with dbs brain surgery and if it were even remotely possible that I would do that to another "human being" I wouldn't. Thats my definition of love my neighbor. Of course I never sat through science class or bible study stoned or with a hang over. Please Mr. Bush I emplore your look thru a microscope it wont steal your soul. I am sorry I just had to vent. Every day I just hate this guy more and more.

should actually give a flying $hit about what Chimpy CuckooBananas "thinks"? :rofl:

Jeebus, If he were any dumber he'd be a fern.

Bush: I'll Veto Stem Cell Legislation

Friday May 20, 2005 5:01 PM

By TERENCE HUNT AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Friday said he would veto legislation that would loosen restrictions on embryonic stem cell research and expressed deep concern about human cloning research in South Korea.

<snip>White House deputy press secretary Trent Duffy said the work in South Korea amounted to human cloning for the sole purpose of scientific research. ``The president is opposed to that,'' Duffy said. ``That represents exactly what we're opposed to.'' <snip>

The president also threatened a veto of legislation that would clear the way for taxpayer money to be spent on embryonic stem cell research.

A measure by Reps. Mike Castle, R-Del., and Diana DeGette, D-Colo., would lift Bush's 2001 ban on the use of federal dollars for research using any new embryonic stem cell lines. <snip>

This is America. This is supposed to be democracy, where church does not rule the country. Catholic church has too much influence on the government. People gotta realize that earth is not the center of the universe and that progress requires funding. Bush has no right to deny people progress. We are already have to put of with 8 years of this dumby. Religion has no place in the White House!!!!!!!! Just when I though Bush couldn't get any dumber, he proved me wrong! :kick:

saying no to the catholic church, look no further than Spain and it's magnificent, democratically-elected president, Mr. Zapatero.

actually ever veto a bill ?

The president also threatened a veto of legislation that would clear the way for taxpayer money to be spent on embryonic stem cell research.

Perhaps Halliburton should start a stem cell research division ? There never seems to lack any taxpayer money for them...

the conservative whack jobs believe that taking the DNA from a SKIN CELL and injecting it into an egg in order to create a 100 cell embryo is a human life.

They are so spun up about this. But could care less about the ever growing number of actual living and breathing human beings are being killed each and every day as the result of the effed up war.

It is about time he took a stand against the death penalty

"I made very clear to Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayer’s money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life. . "

Oh wait, killing people with a scientific methods such as the gas chamber, lethal injection, etc. who killed other people because they cannot be "rehabilitated" and are a danger to society if they were to leave prison is OKAY by him.

The problem BUSH has is using left over embreos created for in-vitro fertilization (THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE DESTROYED) to test new science . . .

What a complete and total moran. Will the news media show this paradox? Oh they had better not or they'll be under fire for mispelling embryo. . .

Breakthrough for UK scientists as first human embryo is cloned

JOHN VON RADOWITZ

Key points
• Newcastle scientists first in UK, second in world to clone human embryo
• South Korean scientists reveal first customised embryonic stem cells
• Research is highly controversial; fear of mavericks cloning babies remains

What I find really sad is that, ignoring the ethics of this issue, such medical research as this can e a powerful driver of the economy as it sparks innovation and new forms of work and technology (which equates to manufacturing the equipment and supplies needed to produce this kind of scientific research). By ignoring this type of research, Congress essentially abdicates all the potential earnings which this research generates, earnings which could be infused into an American economy in need to assistance.

I'm scared they might clone another George Bush!
Now that's scary! :scared:

Me too. I'm afraid they'll clone Dubya. One is too many.

so there!

AOL has a poll up on this story, and as of right now, here are the results:

What do you think of President Bush's position on stem cell research?
I disagree with it 70%
I agree with it 24%
Undecided 6%
Total Votes: 23,258

Given the right-wing slant of many AOL members, this doesn't look good for President Dipshit.

He* is such a colossal jackass.

DUMB BASS TURD!

or is it Stupid Fish Feces?

"Hwang and his colleagues do not use surplus test-tube embryos to create their stem-cell lines. Instead, they employ a cloning technique known as somatic-cell nuclear transfer. In this process, the nucleus from an unfertilized donor egg cell is replaced with nuclear material from a different kind of cell. Then the egg is processed with electricity and chemicals, coaxing it to grow to the blastocyst stage."

If monkey boy is so worried about clonning how come his followers cant hold original thoughts in thier heads. I recently talked to a Fristian senator from my state about stem cell research he said he wont go against his party because if he did he will take crap from his co workers. I said what about the crap that I take living everday with parkinsons. These people are positively insane.
