A Bill to require federal funding for the creation of human embryos for research was vetoed by the President on 19th July 2006, and his veto was not overridden. He was photographed with young children saved by the “Snowflake” scheme for adoption of “spare” embryos. He said “these boys and girls are not spare parts” (National Right to Life News, August 2006).
President Bush also signed into law S3504, sponsored by Senators Rick Santorum and Sam Brownback, to ban some forms of ‘fetus farming’, meaning the use of tissue and organs from humans gestated for that purpose in a human or animal womb.
