This arguement is a non-starter. In theory, wars aren't a choice. The necessity of the Iraq war is highly questionable, but conservatives believe it was nessecary. You can choose not to do stem cell research.

Having said that, if Bush is concerned about embryos being created only to be destroyed his problem is not with the kind of stem cell research proposed by this law, but rather with the fertility clinics from which these embryos are collected. Thats why this position on stem cell research is disingenuous.
