Here is a great ad put together by our friends at VirtueMedia that should have been used throughout Missouri by the pro-life movement.
Maybe Republicans will wise up someday and go on the offensive to promote adult stem cell research instead of destructive embryonic experimentation.

It _is_ a good add.
Of course, like most adds on controversial topics, it’s got points
which are disingenuous at best.
Some examples:
The statement ESCR has produced no cures is factually true. However,
as I posted in some earlier thread a couple weeks ago, given the
period of time we’ve been researching them, there is no chance
whatsoever they would have produced a cure yet.
She mentions non-destructive stem cells. It’s true some of these,
which we’ve been researching for up to 40 years, have produced cures
for various ailments. It’s also true those forms of stem cells
emphatically do _not_ possess the capabilities of embryonic stem
cells, which is why ESC’s are considered such a promising research area.
Then there is the whole debate over whether a small clump of cells ==
a person. I say no, so this entire argument on morality is simply
misplaced to me — I consider it immoral to consider a small,
unthinking clump of cells ahead of living, thinking, suffering human
beings. However, for those who agree with the speaker, it’s a very
persuasive argument.
