Funding embryonic stem cell research with taxpayers money is really just a waste, since results from these type of cells have been so disappointing. The only promising research has been from adult T cells, which can be harvested from the patient.
We don't need to create more government funded waste. There's plenty of that already. You'd think Michael J. Fox would be more up to speed about this research. Either he isn't very bright, or he's deceiving people for political reasons.
To be fair: or he is a man desperate for his life and will grasp at anything, even the foolish...
I think it's the latter. You know, he does come from Canada, the land of Socialized Medicine... IMO money is spent much more efficiently when it comes from private business and private donations, and not out of our tax dollars. Socialists don't seem to understand that simple concept.
