I found out yesterday that Mr. Fox goes off his meds when he appears before Congress or does ads such as this...Rush Limbaugh stated yesterday that he doesn't see anything wrong with that (i paraphrase) in order to show the ravages of the disease. But i'm not that lenient. There should at the very least be a statement to that effect otherwise this is voter manipulation. I too have really enjoyed Michael J. Fox and i so regret that this has happened to him, but it does not alter the fact that he is very very wrong on the matter of embryonic stem cell research. c
In addition, I saw that the proposed Legislation isn't about ESC research at all, but about cloning--which Missouri has been trying to outlaw and the Leftists would like to enshrine into the constitutiion (if I understand it correctly.)
Here's the thing, the Democrats hope to obscure the issue enough to make it seem like a straight-foward vote--vote to save Michael J. Fox.
and on top of that, it is about FEDERAL funding of ESC (cloning)research because private investors have not been putting the cash behind ESC due to poor..make that catastrophic...side effects. c
What's shocking to me is that the medical information is being ignored. From the studies I've read, embryonic stem cells don't seem compatible with a mature body. This "cure" keeps turning out to be worse than the disease. Now adult stem cells seem to be different - but then, they are generated to work in a mature body.
Well, you can't put new wine in old wineskins, can you?
Embryonic stem cells are meant to coexist and work with other embryonic stem cells; in middle-aged bodies they seem to run amok and create havoc.
And geeze, I write this as someone who has been in much worse shape than Michael Fox! I would never, ever accept embryonic stem cell treatment. True, I don't believe it is morally right, but beyond that, I think these treatments are incredibly dangerous, and the studies seem to bear me out.
Yes, I don't even talk about the gruesome side-effects of the attempted ESC treatments.
Not to mention, differentiation of the ESC must occur for it to be used in anyone adult, kid or baby.
Ultimately, this debate is about abortion. The ESC is a straw man looking to find a "useful" purpose for abortion. Or, this is to just push the envelope of "personal choice."
Can you imagine the results of ESC going forward? Desperate women selling eggs or being coerced like in South Korea... Talk about a slippery slope.
There has been a very well done rebuttal to MJFox's political ad by Jim Caviezel, Kurt Warner and others. I must say this little shenanigan by the Democrats and Michael J Fox have colored my opinion of the former actor So the dems have done Mr. Fox a huge disservice. I already had a low opinion of the democrats so no further harm done there. c

C,
