I’d like to point you to this excellent post by AmercianPapist on the Amendment 2 cloning ban in Missouri. I was pretty surprised to see Michael J. Fox in an ad supporting this amendment. What’s more surprising is that the language of this amendment has been specifically crafted to lead voters to vote in favor of it. Luckily enough, as AmericanPapist points out, there has been an ad shot that will run tonight during the World Series game 4 to help educate people about what the amendment really says.

If you live in Missouri, I recommend you check out this post, on why cloning is wrong and visit the Missourians Against Human Cloning website.
This is on the ballots for November 7 and is a serious problem. The initiative is being funded by some very big money and will force taxes on the people of Missouri to waste millions of dollars on cloning when there are already proven and morally acceptable medical treatments that have been done using adult stem cells. This amendment will increase the rates that we kill embryos in the country substantially.
