ABSTRACT
The article discusses United States President George W. Bush's political views towards stem cell research. Bush vetoed a bill that would direct public money to embryonic-stem-cell research, claiming that the research brings with it the temptation of using embryonic stem cells in experiments, which Bush believes is inhumane.
