At the White House today, President Bush talked about embryo adoption and ethical stem cell research. The White House criticized as 'morally troubling' legislation that would loosen restrictions on government funding of embryonic stem cell research, ahead of a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives, saying the legislation would overturn President Bush's 2001 policy, in which he allowed federal funding for stem cell research but limited it to 78 stem cell lines that existed prior to Bush's policy implementation.
The president promoted Social Security reform in New York.
The vice president met with Senators on Capitol Hill over the judicial nominations.
Mrs. Bush, in Egypt, continued her diplomatic mission.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island.
QUOTE: "In the complex debate over embryonic stem cell research, we must remember that real human lives are involved --both the lives of those with diseases that might find cures from this research, and the lives of the embryos that will be destroyed in the process. The children here today are reminders that every human life is a precious gift of matchless value."
