Publicly
I really think this is a great cause (as he
shakes)
He is acting!

• Embryonic stem cell research has become a topic
  of heated debut.
• Recently, the commercial that Michael J. Fox
  appeared in has stirred up the most controversy.

Publicly..

• Michael J. Fox is putting pressure on Bush to
  shift his idea and pass the bill for stem cell
  research.
• This would allow 400,000 frozen embryos to be
  used for research, that would otherwise be
  destroyed.
• Also, a Democratic Representative said she was
  disappointed at Bush's veto threat against a
  bill that holds promise for cures to diseases
  that affect millions of Americans."

Why Stem Cells Are So Important

• Stem cells are so special because they renew
  themselves through division.
• Under special conditions they can become a
  different form of a cell. They can become a
  beating cell, for the heart, or on an insulin
  producing cell for the pancreas.
• There are two different types of cells embryonic
  and adult cells.

Truth vs.. False

• Despite the misconception, embryonic cells are
  not eggs from a womens body.
• They are eggs from in-vetro fertilization
  -donated for the purpose of research.
