The Truth Behind Stem Cell Research & Veto
Dr. Charles Hux, MD, high risk Ob/Gyn and a geneticist, commented on the stem cell veto by US President Mr. Bush and the impact of stem cell research. If you read one article today, read this.
Hello–My name is Charles Hux and I am a high risk Ob/Gyn and a geneticist . It is unfortunate that the President vetoed this bill but the research will proceed throughout the world no matter what happens in the US. We will not be the leading nation in this area of research but that doesnt matter in the long run. As you may know Infertility doctors throw away in the human disposal thousands of fertilized and unfertilized eggs every yrar–so this is why the Presidents logic is flawed and without reason. Dr Frist wouldnt disagree with “W” unless his reasoning were senseless which it is.. Why shouldnt we try to help those of us living on this planet have better more productive lives with this incredible potential of Stem Cell Therapy–Stem cells will help extend life and improve the quality of life in 10-30 years which may be in our lifetime. Use of stem cells in heart disease , diabetes, cancer neurologic disease is just the tip of the iceberg.CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN OR SENATOR AND LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. Have a great day!!
It is needless to say I agree with him 100%. I am deeply saddened by the veto of President Bush on stem cell bill. Call your congressman today and let him know how you feel.

Dr Hux did not enlighten me why GWB was wrong to veto research on embryos. The fact that medical persons throw away many “fertilised eggs” merely shows that they regard them of no value—which is the central question.
