From the Family Research Council:

The star of "Back to the Future" is headed in the wrong direction, trying to drive the stem cell debate away from the approach that is not only ethical but effective. Michael J. Fox is the latest in a long line of celebrity spokesmen that the pro-cloning lobby has paraded on television, hoping to find traction for research that kills innocent human life. As an encore to his ad in Missouri where he gave false information about Amendment 2, the bill that would make human cloning a constitutional right, Fox now appears in a second commercial in support of a Maryland candidate who voted against the "lifesaving" research Fox advocates. Clearly, if he can't get his facts straight on something as basic as a public voting record, Fox shouldn't be trusted to advise Americans on the intricacies of cloning research. The new ad claims that the president put limits "on the most promising research."

That "promising research," as he calls it, has yet to help a single patient. In fact, studies on embryonic stem cells have done little more than waste government money that could have been spent finding cures through ethical alternatives. Cord blood and adult stem cells have had documented success in several treatments--including Parkinson's disease, which Fox himself suffers from. In reality, the actor is an emotional advocate for an ineffective technique. Missouri voters must realize that his star status doesn't translate into medical credibility. So far the cloning advocates have spent nearly $30 million to deceive the people of Missouri on Amendment 2, but if approved by voters the costs will be even higher--in human life.
