Senate votes to save lives, Bush could care less
CNN reports that the Senate just passed H.R. 810, CD1 Democratic representative Diana DeGette's bill to expand federal funding for stem cell research. The final vote was 63-37, just four votes short of the number needed to override Bush's promised first-ever veto. A press release from DeGette's office reads, in part:
President Bush's restrictive stem cell policy is a failure. H.R. 810 moves to correct that by allowing this important research to move forward under ethical constraints. This research holds so much promise to solving diseases that affect more than 110 million Americans. Vetoing it would be one of the greatest mistakes of his Presidency.
What can you do now? Go sign Progress Now Action's petition, which will be delivered to the President.

mmm......I wonder if those people who oppose research on embryonic stem cells would sign a statement that they will not accept any treatment based on this research for themselves or their children.
his alcoholic daughters?
