President Bush again promised to veto legislation that would fund embryonic stem cell research using federal tax dollars.
"The deliberate destruction of unique living self-integrated human persons is not some incidental tangent of embryonic stem cell research. It is the essence of the experiment -- kill some in the hopes of saving others," he said.
Update:
The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday defied President Bush's veto threat and easily approved bipartisan legislation that would expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
Backers of the legislation, which would basically lift the limits Bush imposed on stem cell research in August 2001, said they will push for a vote in the Senate, where it would have a good chance of passage.
This may be the President's first veto...
