Bush Threatens Veto
Underscoring a widening rift with his own party in Congress, President Bush vowed that if Congress passes a bill to expand federal spending on stem-cell research using human embryos, "I will veto it." He added: "I'm a strong supporter of adult stem-cell research, of course. But I made it very clear to the Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayers' money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life is -- I'm against that." Legislation being pushed in the House of Representatives would loosen the administration's curbs on federally funded research into embryonic stem cells.

Mr. Bush also said he is "very concerned about cloning," an apparent reference to announcements from South Korea and the United Kingdom that researchers had made advances in cloning embryos for stem-cell research purposes. "I worry about a world in which cloning becomes acceptable," he said.
