W did the right thing. I have never seen a president so 'just' and 'true' to 'all' the people of your country -the USA.
There would have been killings, but now the government will establish strict standards that will monitor the use of these embryo cells. W should make a greater attempt to control private research companies who are using stem-cells because they are the cut throats who have no conscience. Their bottom line is profit. Apparently a good number of these samples get discarded under certain conditions therefore there will be more of them. I think that scientists have enough to begin some serious research. They will have money to train people and allocate resources towards stem cell science. If there is any evidence that cures are being developed from this science than I'm sure that more will be done. The main point is that it is never a mistake to take more time to plan and analyze a situation rather than to jump immediately into ill thought out experiments. Also I am pleased with your presidents decision. I hope that a cure for disease can be discovered out of the use of stem-cells. I think that this can be done ethically so long as there are standards.
