We all know that Michael J Fox made a huge deal over finding a cure for
his disease. And for the millions like him. But after making his
commercials, when he was confronted with the issues, he admitted that
he never actually read the amendment. He was just supporting his
candidate. (That in itself is depressing!) Well he got his wish the
bill passed, but there is a catch! This bill was not what many of the
voters believed it to be.
The supporters of the bill tried originally to make it sound like it
was legalizing stem-cell research, (which is not in any way shape or
form illegal - Private researchers can kill as many embryos as they
like for their research, but there are severe restrictions when the
company uses government funds.) Then churches started alerting the
public to the fact that the amendment was actually about cloning.
When they did that supporters of the amendment changed their spin on it
claiming that the bill limits cloning, which it does. But that is also
not the full truth. The bill actually makes human cloning legal. It
was NOT legal before, it is now. It also puts a restriction on it
that a human clone must not be allowed to come to full term.

While this seems bad enough, it is really quite mild when you compare
it to what is going on in other contries in the name of scientific
evidence! The BBC reported that scientists in the UK plan to create
embryos that are part human part cow! Yes, you heard me right!
UK scientists have applied for permission to create embryos by fusing human DNA with cow eggs. Think I'm crazy? Read the article for yourself!
When is God going to say, "HEY!!! I'M GOD - NOT YOU!!!
How far is too far?
Who do we think we are?
