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 research—embryonic 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 used—and our taxes inevitably raised yet again—for such questionable, unethical research?

ON NOVEMBER 6th, VOTE NO.

Thanks, I have a packet already sent out by Americans for Prosperity.

I will use your post for my blog though. You saved me typing trouble :)

Thank you :)

Please ping the Catholic & Moral Absolutes list on this issue in case there are other people from NJ on there.
