Great news out of the state's two largest newspapers today for Proposal 2. Both the Free Press and the Detroit News gave a ringing endorsement of lifting the state's archaic ban on embryonic stem cell research that has the possibility to help thousands, even millions like me that suffer from different illnesses and diseases. From the Freep: Among the many reasons to repeal Michigan's ban on embryonic stem cell research, perhaps the strongest is this: The ban doesn't preserve life. Instead, it wastes unwanted embryos that could save and improve lives. The ban also stalls scientific exploration for life-giving cures. (skip) Michigan voters should say yes to Proposal 2 on the Nov. 4 ballot to open up the state to this tremendous opportunity. They should say yes to put Michigan researchers in the hunt to solve heretofore incurable diseases. Let's face it, throwing these stem cell lines into the trash instead of using them to find cures is as far away from being 'pro-life' as one can get. The Detroit News lays it out plain and simple: Michigan has one of the most backward laws on embryonic stem cell research in the nation. Prop 2 on the November ballot would change that. Residents should vote yes on Prop 2. And if that doesn't convince you, just consider this. How often is that these two papers actually agree on anything, particularly something like this? Spread the word, get involved, and help out. Michigan needs Prop 2 to pass, and we need you to help make that happen.
