Michigan Prop 2

Michigan has two propositions on the ballot for this November's election. Prop 1 deals with medical marijuana and Prop 2 is on the ability to create new stem cell lines in Michigan. There is no reason not to support these two propositions.

As for Prop 2, there is a great group which has formed to promote its passage, Cure Michigan. There is also the opposition, 2 Goes 2 Far. Prop 2 not only should be passed but really needs to be passed, and this has gained the support and attention of Bill Clinton, with his recent visit this week to Michigan to promote Prop 2. This allows for much more research in Michigan and expanding what limited research is already being perused. The abilities of what new stem cell research is astounding and can help out millions. And if Michigan, with one of the worst economic situations in the nation, can spur growth in the sciences, Michigan can do not only much needed research, but bring funding and jobs to people at Universities and science labs the state over.

Inasmuch, the Univeristy of Michigan has a list of "Five things you should know about stem cell research" published just this week. At least inform yourself on the issues, from both sides, and make a decision based on the facts and not what you want to be true or what misinformed people might have told you; you never know, your opinion might change to either side of this issue from where you stand now! If a person makes an informed decision than no one can blame that voter for their vote. The worst thing to do is not get involved at some level!
