For the second time in nine months, the US Senate has voted to lift restrictions on federal funding for human embryonic stem-cell research. But once again, the measure is expected to be vetoed by President Bush.

"This bill crosses a moral line that I and many others find troubling. If it advances all the way through Congress to my desk, I will veto it," the president said in a statement issued shortly after the Senate vote.

Senator Tom Harkin (Democrat, Iowa), the bill's leading proponent, urged the president to reconsider. "Tonight I am appealing to President Bush to re-examine the substance of this bill, and to reconsider his threat to veto it."
