Here is a little science and humanity to help guide your choice for tomorrow's VOTE...

Embryonic Stem Cells are taken from 4-7 day old embryos, smaller than a pinhead, invisible to the naked eye. If one believes it's destroying life, then they should be opposed to In Vitro Fertilization as well. Thousands and thousands of unused frozen embryos from IVF clinics are thrown into the garbage yearly, which could instead be used to help push the science forward to save millions and millions of lives and help return the suffering back to the quality of life they once cherished and miss dearly.
If one is opposed to both IVF & ESC, then that is their right and I COMPLETELY respect and honor that, but if an idividual opposes just one and not the other, then their reasoning should be reexamined. If in doubt, just do a little research (or ask me and I gladly provide information from both sides to be evaluated on your own).
Lives are at stake, please choose wisely and with compassion.
Respectfully,
Christopher Janney
By the way, the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Act (CPRA) is a great non-contraversial way to get research and government support to move forward and CURE paralysis! Please take a look...
