President Bush used the only veto of his presidency so far to reject a bill passed by Congress last year that would have expanded embryonic stem cell research through government funding.Supporters of such research say it could lead to treatments and cures for a wide variety of ailments, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases as well as spinal cord injuries. Bush and abortion foes, however, have opposed expanding embryonic stem cell research because the embryos die in the process of harvesting the stem cells from them.Senate Majority Leader-elect Harry Reid said he hopes that the president will relent and that some Republicans will now join Democrats on the side of expanded research.the Associated Press
