You make private enterprise sound like a gov't budget. As long as there is the prospect of a profit the the private dollars will be there. In fact the carrot of making federal dollars available gives the federal gov't a say in how laboratories do the research.
Option A (your option) is no federal involvement and the result is unrestrained research. Option B, (Bush's option) is federal involvement to the extent of already existing stem cells and the result is restrained research.
Even Jesus taught us to be wise in the ways of the world. Bush is.

Okay, replace the word "research" with what it allows, "killing."
The government, by virtue of federal funding of embryo killing,
now has the power to regulate the previously un-restrained killing of embryos.
