Putting aside the pro-life and humanitarian aspects of embryonic stem-cell research, I have this to say:
The federal government has no business funding research of any kind, except that which is intended to foster the common defense.
Regardless of the reasons for President Bush's veto of a bill to provide federal funds for embryonic stem-cell research, he was right to veto it. Now that Bush has found his veto pen, perhaps he will use it more often and on measures of greater fiscal import.
