Let's recap the utter absurdity of remaining conservative opposition to Embryonic Stem Cell Research.

You're holding a cryogenic container with a blastocyst inside. It's a ball of cells roughly the size of the period at the end of this sentence. You have a choice of putting it in an incinerator or placing it in a petri dish and using it for research.

George Bush and his shrinking base somehow reason, using unknown, convoluted pseudo-logic, that destruction by fire is saving it while the petri dish represents destroying it.

Bush has reportedly vowed to veto the new bill when it crosses his desk. It would be only the second veto he has issued, the first was on an ESCR bill last year.

Democrats and some of the saner Republicans may try to mount an override.
