Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005 was the first (and currently only) bill ever vetoed by United States President George W. Bush, more than five years after his inauguration. The bill, which passed both houses of Congress, but by less than the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto, would have allowed federal funding of stem cell research on lines of stem cells derived from discarded human embryos created for fertility treatments but would have banned any form of human cloning[citation needed].
