Bush in dark on stem cells

It does not surprise me in the least that our totally incapable president would quickly veto any bill that would lend support for the advancement of stem-cell research. Only someone so ignorant (despite his supposed education) would fail to see the enormous benefit to mankind that would emerge from this new and exciting field, with its promise of curing some of the worst afflictions ever to beset the human species.Imagine the possibility of one day eradicating Alzheimer's or reducing or eliminating the need for donor organs by using stem cells to create new hearts, lungs, etc. Why would anyone not acknowledge the tremendous possibilities to end so much suffering and death? For those who have a problem with the moral issues, is it more moral to deny people a chance to be disease-free, to alleviate unrelenting suffering, to gain new life and new hope?It is time to leave the Dark Ages behind once and for all.
