Michael J Fox Opens Next Chapter in Embryonic Stem Cell Debate

In an interview with George Stephanopoulus, Michael J Fox admitted two things that need to be addressed. First, that he hasn't read the contents of the Missouri's Stem Cell Amendment. Second, that embryonic stem cell research does boil down to trading one life to save another.

Look, Michael developed his condition rather early in life. He is worth studying.

On behalf of the health of others of course.

Wonder if he'd donate his brain right now so the docs could get a "head start".

The bill is not about embryonic stem cell research. It's about making human cloning constitutional to make it extremely difficult if not impossible to overturn.

Exactly! And that's why the MSM and liberals in USENET are making this an issue about Rush Limbaugh and the evil republicans. They need to be hannitised.

Somebody should ask Michael what science he's read that leads him to believe the Embryonic Stem Cell research holds ANY hope for treating Parkinson's.

Why doesn't he pick on dandilions?
They hold as much hope.

Here is a little truth about that Missouri stem cell amendment.

The bill as written allows "embryonic" stems cell research, after abortion, using TAX MONEY, and prohibits ANY future laws from "discouraging such activities". It ALLOWS "cloning" Sect 6(2), but not BIRTH. Research - READ THE BILL (ie body parts harvesting farms)

Newbie, this is the biggest scam of an amendment ever perpetrated on the people of any state in the union.

Well, except maybe the sixteenth and the seventeenth amendments to the US Constitution...
