Here's the text of the flyer in case anyone wants to forward it around as an email:
Vote NO on the New Jersey Stem Cell Research Act on November 6th
Don't stem cells cure disease? Why should I vote no?
Fact: To date, adult and cord stem cells have been used to treat 73 diseases successfully successfully. This type of research shows promise. However, this bill will not fund any additional research for adult or cord stem cell research. It will only fund one type of stem cell researchembryonic stem cell research.
Fact: To date, embryonic stem cell research has resulted in NO SUCCESSFUL CURES. In experimental testing, the use embryonic stem cells has resulted in tumors and mutations, not cures.
This bond question involves using $450 MILLION TAX DOLLARS to fund questionable embryonic stem cell research, not productive adult stem cell research. The provision includes using property taxes to pay for the research. This will increase taxes, and not for hopeful research, but for destructive and ineffective research.
Fact: Human embryonic stem cell research Human embryonic stem cell research involves cloning embryos, then destroying them cloning embryos, then destroying them them. Cloning an individual that results in the birth of the clone an individual that results in the birth of the clone is illegal in NJ, but cloning an individual who will is illegal in NJ, but cloning an individual who will be destroyed before birth is not.
This research funds such cloning to harvest This research funds such cloning to harvest embryonic stem cells.
Do you want your tax dollars usedand our taxes inevitably raised yet againfor such questionable, unethical research?
ON NOVEMBER 6th, VOTE NO.
