US House backs stem cell research
The US House of Representatives has passed a bill backing embryonic stem cell research, marking a major challenge to President George W Bush.
The stem cell bill was among the top priorities for the Democrats, who took control of Congress last week, but Mr Bush has vowed to veto it.
Advocates of stem cell research say it could lead to cures for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Mr Bush says the research would destroy human life in the name of science.
The bill was passed by 253 to 174, but fell short of a two-thirds majority needed to overcome the veto. read more…
