Re: Response Ad to Michael J. Fox

What does Jeff Suppan know about these diseases? Well, a lot less than Michael J Fox. Hey Jeff, where's your snowflake baby? Patricia?

OK lets clear this whole thing up once and for all. Stem Cell research consist of two topics not one, the first being adult stem cell and the other fetal stem cells. I don't care of your a Republican, Democrat, Conservative or Liberal the facts are that adult stem cells are working and the research is producing many great results. Now as for the Fetal stem cells the results are poor to say the least, medical scientist can't get anywhere with the research.

B.S.

From the NIH:

"Why not use adult stem cells instead of using human embryonic stem cells in research?

Human embryonic stem cells are thought to have much greater developmental potential than adult stem cells. This means that embryonic stem cells may be pluripotent—that is, able to give rise to cells found in all tissues of the embryo except for germ cells rather than being merely multipotent—restricted to specific subpopulations of cell types, as adult stem cells are thought to be."

Hmmm... Interesting. MJ Fox is an actor using his experiences to bolster the entertainment aspect of this ad so that it quite effectively "tugs at heart strings". However, a successful actor does not, in this case, equal an informed speaker (no, having Parkinson's does not make you an expert on stem cell research). It should be taken for what it is.... Entertainment value to play on emotions, not to educate. No medical facts. 2Cents

Well, actually, if you had actually looked into this before speaking, you would know that the Michael J Fox Foundation is the second largest funder of parkinson's research after the federal government. He's raised over $85 mil. for research. He understands the research quite well, far better than Jim Caviezel of Patricia Richardson.

Finally someone who knows the science.

Embryonic stem cells have not made any major breakthroughs in curing ANYTHING. Its all just supposition.

Adult stem cells work.

Its not a religious issue - its a science issue. Why waste money and time on something that just doesn't work?

[Cayvmann]

According to some comments, Michael J Fox doesn't know anything, because he's an actor, but all those other actors somehow do know something, because they disagree with Micheal... Idiots

[waypay1]

Apparently HIS life is worth more than those of babies. Or so he thinks.

[candiceevans1]

I used to think this was ok until I looked into it,,,Micheal J Fox is obviously NOT christian and has no respect for GODs word ,

[courage9070]

Try healing by faith exercises and diet(Lorraine Day did it with cancer).If that doesn't work why not try adult stem cells?Obviously, God blessed a scientist with the capacity to conceive the idea... if its not doing any harm or perpetuating the sin of abortion why not?

[blasterman9]

Fuck all of your opinions.

@RoswellGray Your comment just got rolled!

[Mickyfinn527]

Yeah, Kurt. We wouldn't find a cure for 15 years, right? So, if it took 15 years to find a cure for polio, or small pox, we never should have bothered? Of if we could cure a form of cancer, but it'd take 15 years - nope, not worth the wait. Tool. Take your evangelical BS to a street corner.

[theinquisitivedonkey]

@RoswellGray You just got dissed.

[waraider1]

yea but stem cell with damage the patients brain embrionic will make new cells causing the brain to create new dopemine however you spell it
