because he thought that it was killing people, unethical, etc. which is kind of hypocritical. (did i use that right?) because if he valued human life so much, he would have banned the death penalty
need serious answers
I imagine it has something to do with being seen as unethical by the vast majority of bible toting people. George Bush is one of these people. Also. G.W.B. was kind of a libertairian. That's why he didn't pardon those prisoners on death row. It wasn't any sort of death mongering. So maybe he banned it with the intent that if certain states wanted to start funding it or w/e they could.
limited federal funding for stem cell research
On June 19th 2006, former President George W Bush vetoed the embryonic stem cell research bill. This bill would reversed the Dickey Amendment which made it legal for federal money to be used for research where stem cells are derived from the destruction of an embryo.
Yes, Barack Obama has expressed his support for embryonic stem cell research. During his presidency, he issued an executive order in 2009, lifting the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research that had been imposed by his predecessor, President George W. Bush. Obama believed that this research held the potential for important medical breakthroughs.
Bush hoped to prevent the use of aborted fetuses for research purposes, since such research would have been offensive to his right wing political supporters.
He is the one who banned it
How much does stem cell research cost? $4 trillion per year.
