What Bush Supporters Overlook

[SENDITIN]

Think you're wrong Jay.

There is no federal law banning stem cell research of any kind. There has long been a ban imposed by Congress on federal funding of destructive embryo research. This ban was enforced by the Clinton administration. President Bush’s decision of August 2001 was in fact a liberalization of that ban and it was denounced by some conservative groups as a result. The Bush decision permitted funding of embryo stem cell research. The permission extended to cell-lines cultured from embryos that had already been destroyed, so that there would be no encouragement to destroy further embryos. And, of course, there is no restriction at all on “adult” stem cell research.

and almost every researcher states bush is wrong and is holding back science.

hey Jay ,if something is banned then why is it federally funded? Go get a dictionary and look up the word banned.

Why is Vietnam service relevant to this election? what year is this? Its not 1968 it is 2004, times change and ancient history doesn't matter.

Bob Dole didn't make military service an issue vs clinton and all of you libs didn't think it was important then..why now?

hey dipshit nj,

stem cell research is banned on any stem cells made after aug 9, 2001. why don't you look at the polls and see that 70% of americans want the research funded and believe bush is blinded by religion on this issue.

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

if its funded it aint banned.

let the private sector fund it.

 

[JayHarn3]

so every other modern country allows it but the US doesn't? this shows you exactly where bush is leading this country.

 

[Redneckman]

Jayharn, quick talking out of your ass on this issue. It's not banned.

 

[JayHarn3]

listen up,

any federally funded research on esc, created after 8/9/01 is BANNED.

 

[SENDITIN]

Jay,

You've been hanging around Clinton too long. Get your posts straight. There's a BIG difference between:

A. STEM CELL RESEARCH

B. FEDERALLY FUNDED STEM CELL RESEARCH

The ban is on federally funded stem cell research and it was enforced by Clinton. Where is your outrage over Clinton? It was Bush who loosened the ban and allowed certain embryos to be researched. Quit whining and invest in some private start-ups.

 

[JayHarn3]

i guess you have no loved ones or friends who could be cured by this research.

 

[SENDITIN]

Jay,

Quit using moveon.org for your stem cell research. The lunatic left is trying to paint this issue as Bush not caring about sick people. If stem cells are such a hot area how come businesses are taking a pass?

Read this:

Cures Are Right around the Corner if Only the Administration Changes Its Mind
One of the cruelest myths ever put out by the press is this one. Whatever has been said, the implication is clear: aunts and uncles and parents who are now sick could be cured, perhaps even President Reagan could have been saved and all that stands in the way is this funding ban.

It does not take much intelligence to see the many fallacies here. Even the more honest advocates of embryo stem cell research have admitted that cures are a long, long way off. This is patently clear to those who have followed the animal experiments, which have so far yielded very little evidence of cures and many problems. But the proof lies in the market place. If the hype were to be believed, and a whole new world of cures were on our doorstep, there would be massive investment from venture capitalists pouring into embryo stem cell work, major pharma corporations and start-up IPOs. Economics is an interesting study: the market values commodities (including information) in a ranking summing up the value scales of individuals, which lead to conclusions that determine prices, assessments of risk and investments. The markets have spoken on this issue—the best-informed people around, the biotech investors, have taken a walk. And, of course, that is why there is such pressure for public money

hey Jay, can stupidity be cured by this research? if so go sign up. Oh wait, according to you, the research is banned . Sorry.
