Michael J. Fox to Campaign in NH Senate Race on Stem Cell Research

Concord, NH (LifeNews.com) -- Actor Michael J. Fox came under fire in previous elections for misleading ads making it appear pro-life lawmakers oppose all forms of stem cell research when they just oppose the kind that kills unborn children and has never helped patients. Fox is back for the 2008 elections.

He is heading to New Hampshire to help pro-abortion Senate candidate Jeanne Shaheen, who is challenging pro-life Sen. John Sununu.

Fox and Shaheen are attacking Sununu's position favoring adult stem cell research and other moral forms of scientific research but opposing forcing taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research that involves the destruction of human life.

Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, has been a vocal supporter of embryonic stem cell research since his diagnosis. Fox and Shaheen are scheduled to speak in Durham and Manchester on Tuesday.

Stem cell study creates more debate

Professor: Lifting ban would save money, create jobs

By JOHN HUDSON

LANSING -- A recent study on the benefits of in-state embryonic stem cell research is fueling new debate over Proposition 2 on the state's November election ballot.

The referendum has triggered a battle between supporters and opponents of the proposal, which would prevent Michigan from restricting the research beyond federal regulations. It would allow for the destruction of human embryos and the donation of excess embryos for medical research in Michigan.

But as the opposing groups rattle sabers over the study's findings, independent experts have stepped in raising questions of their own.

The study by Wayne State University economics Professor Allen Goodman concludes that lifting the ban could save the state tens of millions of dollars annually, create biotech jobs and provide relief for 770,000 Michigan residents with spinal injuries, Parkinson's disease and a slew of other debilitating illnesses.
