Bush 'out of touch' on stem cells

If I were a scientist working in this field, I would move to a country that isn't so religiously insane.

BBC NEWS Science/Nature Bush 'out of touch' on stem cells:

Scientists have reacted with anger to US President George W Bush's decision to veto a bill allowing federal funding for new embryonic stem cell research.

They argue it will damage a promising field of medical research.

Leading researchers labelled Mr Bush 'hypocritical', 'out of touch' and 'selfish' over his decision not to sign into law a bill approved by Congress.

Mr Bush argued that the law 'crossed a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect'.

Polls suggest most Americans back the research, which scientists hope will lead to cures for serious illnesses such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes.
