Kansas sucks.

So two out of three vetoes used by Bush were against stem cells. Dissappointing, but not unexpected. Looking into the details of the bill, I found an interesting website - The Hinxton Group, which tracks countries' stem cell policies. 

Two of these images are of particular interest: (by the way, green is good)

Number of deaths for leading causes of death

Heart disease: 654,092

Cancer: 550,270

Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,147

Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 123,884

Accidents (unintentional injuries): 108,694

Diabetes: 72,815

Alzheimer's disease: 65,829

Influenza/Pneumonia: 61,472

Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 42,762

Septicemia: 33,464

I've taken the liberty to bold those diseases that (definitely) have potential cures through stem cells.

These aren't.. lame economies you're going up against. Can you really afford to fall behind? 

*I should note, California has done awesomely. The rest of you- shame on you for being such idiots.
