Stem Cell Research

Once again stem cell research is in the news. President Bush has said he will veto any bill congress passes which would allocate money for new stem cell research. Should 1 man have so much power?

Is that what the American people want? Isn't a democracy based on what is best for the majority of people?

Here are the results of one independent poll from iwon.com...........:

"Stem Cell Funding?
White House aide Karl Rove told a newspaper editorial board earlier this week that President Bush will likely issue his first veto if the Senate approves a bill to expand funding of embryonic stem-cell research later this month. The Bush administration has allowed federal funding only for existing lines of embryonic stem cells. Researchers and patients' groups say that policy hinders vital research. (AP)
Are you for or against legislation that would expand federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research?"

60% - For

23% - Against

17% - I'm not sure

Who is being represented here? Certainly NOT the majority!
