New Critical Reading of Jack Lessenberry's Latest Column

We've posted a critical reading of Jack Lessenberry's most recent editorial on embryonic stem cell research which was published in the Traverse City Record-Eagle on July 13, 2008.

Like previous editorials written by Lessenberry, this editorial falsely claims embryonic stem cell research is banned in Michigan.

Jack Lessenberry has been provided with factual information proving that embryonic stem cell research is legal in Michigan, yet he unfortunately continues to mislead his readers by falsely claiming it is banned.

New Web Site from the Michigan Citizens Against Unrestricted Science and Experimentation

A new web site has been launched by the Michigan Citizens Against Unrestricted Science and Experimentation in order to fight the ballot proposal to legalize the unrestricted killing of human embryo for research purposes in Michigan.

The web site discusses how the ballot proposal is deliberately deceptive, does not ban human cloning and permits unrestricted science. The website explains their opposition to the proposal by saying:

The proposed constitutional amendment is bad public policy for Michigan. This misleading proposal is not about stem cell research, this proposal is about the killing of live human embryos for unrestricted and unregulated research. Currently, embryonic stem cell research is taking place in Michigan. Federal tax dollars are used to fund the embryonic stem cell studies at the University of Michigan Center for Human Embryo Stem Cell Research.

Michigan Citizens Against Unrestricted Science & Experimentation Ballot Question Committee (MiCAUSE) will provide accurate information so citizens can be informed about the proposed constitutional amendment to allow unrestricted and unregulated research in Michigan.
