Bush Again Vetoes Embryonic Stem Cell Research Bill

covered that cells extracted from amniotic fluid and placentas could also provide stem cells that seem to do what embryonic cells can." Bush added: "Our conscious calls us to pursue the possibilities of science in a manner that respects human dignity and upholds our moral values." Immediately after the veto, Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton hit out at Bush for holding back scientific research.

"This is just one example of how the president puts ideology before science, politics before the needs of our families," said Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for the presidential election next year. Bush also announced directives toward encouraging alternatives to stem cell research reliant on human embryos, directing the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health to ensure than human stem cell lines are "prodcued in ways that do not create, destroy or harm human embryos." Those that follow such orders "will be eligible for federal funding," Bush said.

Researchers have announced their recent success in reprogramming mouse skin cells to mimic the properties of embryonic stem cells, in an advance they hope can be replicated in humans. "By expanding support for nondestructive research methods, this executive order will make it more likely that these exciting advances continue to unfold," the White House said after Bush signed the executive order.

As before, Bush's rejection of the legislation does not prevent private money to be used for embryonic stem cell work. Private foundations and some states have offered funds for research with embryonic stem cells in the wake of Bush's previous veto.
