The Stem-Cell Bill

June 1, 2005 | ISSUE 41•22

The House recently passed a bill lifting restrictions on stem-cell research, but Bush has threatened to veto the bill if it passes the Senate. What do you think?

  • The Democrats and Republicans—and most of the American public—are actually in agreement over an issue. You can see how Bush would want to put a stop to that right away.

  • Some things are just morally reprehensible, like using science to save people's lives.

  • If Bush vetoes this bill, I'm going to veto him! With a bumper sticker, of course.

  • Hey, if it weren't for scientific research, Christopher Reeve would've died on that polo field and none of this would even be an issue in the first place.

  • The Democrats want stem-cell research so they can cure multiple sclerosis. The GOP wants it so they can grow an army of zombies. So Bush is in a tough spot politically.

  • They're not stems, they're babies! And they're not cells, they're babies! And it's not research, it's babies!
