Michael J. Fox-directed diatribe does make one good point...

If you are in the mood to read some conservadribble, you might want to check out this post at "If You're Left You can't be Right," which is a reactionary supercon blog. The post on the recent Michael J. Fox and the political ads re: stem cell initiatives is standard bloviatory silliness from the school of half-thought.

However, it does make one good point. See, I can find something good in just about everything. It is right that umbilical cord blood and the stem cells therein have the potential to spur scientific advances without even raising the moral questions inherent in the embryonic stem cell debate.

"For non-adult stem cell research, a morally unquestionable alternative source exists: stem cells drawn from umbilical cord blood. Already a bank exists in Dubai collecting cord blood stem cells."
