After the successful outcome of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, the White House has announced that it will veto the bill. However, congressional leaders have said that if the bill is vetoed, they will consider this legislation again later in the year.

The Senate passed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007 last Wednesday, April 11th. The bill would change existing federal policy to allow the use of stem cells that were derived from human embryos donated from in vitro fertilization clinics.

The Senate also considered another bill, S. 30, the Hope Offered through Principled and Ethical Stem Cell Research Act sponsored by Senators Norm Coleman (R-MN) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA) that would allow for research on stem cells obtained through non-embryonic sources and "dead" embryos.

I apologize if I get out of line or offensive to anybody reading. But I am truly tired of being a pawn in this charade of politics being about what's best for the people. Initially I thought stem cell research reservations were based on the moral standing of embryos. But many of you insightful readers pointed out, it's all about the money. What would these businesses DO if they didn't have diabetes to fulfill a lifetime of drugs? I'd love to believe they could find another illness to cure - but diabetes is really a fruitful dia-business. Sad but true. So here goes - I apologize for anybody who is offended by my feelings. I'm just sounding off...

Listen Bush - if you keep vetoing these critically important bills - what are we going to do with you?? You've abused the prestigious position of President of the United States by acting like a reckless cowboy! You start unwarranted wars. Your vice president shot someone in the face. Start something good to makeup for the irreparable events your administration has inflicted. A good deed in the form of NOT VETOING this bill would be a convincing start.
