Last night I was watching TV and I saw an ad for and an ad against both proposal one and proposal 2 for the Michigan vote in November. Now I have written my thoughts on Michigan’s proposal 2 already, and if your looking for info on it click the link, but I feel a need to express a little more on this subject. One ad I really liked was one where they had someone is is extremely disabled talk to you about the benefits of Stem Cell research. There are many benefits to this and it needs to be done. It could save and help so many life’s, if diseases were cured the cost of your health insurance will go down as they won’t have to pay for the daily care many people need. If I cure for diabetes is found then millions of people will no longer be charging their insulin, supplies and other diabetes related cost to the insurance company. Oh and the other problems that come along with diabetes such as heart problems, loss of limbs and other issues won’t be a problem either.
The people that are against this are people who are very strong in their beliefs, but the US is a country that is suppose to be free from religion and therefor religious beliefs should not be forced onto anyone or included when making laws. If you don’t know anyone with a disease that could be cured with steam cell research, you either live in a bubble or your lucky. I personally have 3 different things that could be cured with stem cell research and I’m at a high risk for about 5-7 others. I will be voting Yes on this bill. Check out my other post, get the facts and then decide. It will not cost you anything and if they do want to tax you, we have to vote on it.
As for Michigan’s proposal one, that one allows the use of medical marijuana and I also will be voting yes on this. I have seen the ad about kids in shopping malls getting high, guess what, that reality is already here, even my small town has at least 20 drug dealers and there were pot plants found in a field behind my house once. These kids get these drugs somewhere, they know where to find them. Saying yes to this bill is not going to make it worse, but it will help people who are in a lot of pain and who are suffering because of this pain.
If your not sure about either of these proposals or are thinking of turning them down. I really suggest you take a closer look at them by going to the Michigan state website and reading what they are about. Make an informed decision, if you still vote no, that’s your right, but at least do it with the correct knowledge not what you hear on TV.

I think both of these are great ideas and if I lived in Michigan I would be voting yes on both of these. People need to think of others, not just them.

So being since you are for prop2 you musy also believe in abortion. Michigan already has stem cell research at U of M. But it is adult stem cells not human embryonic cells. I live in Michigan and I feel sorry for you that you want to kill innocent human embryos to heal people when nothing is for 100 percernt sure. No cures are 100 percent. So lets all kill what could be a BABY to further a life that might end any way. We are not God and you can’t cheat death.

Actually no I don’t belive in abortion for myself. I do believe that you should not tell others what they can and can not do with their own life and body, though I do not like the idea of abortion unless it is in cases of rape or incest.
Yes we do have stem cell research at U of M, in fact if you take a look in a few of their medical books you will find a picture of my head. I have 2 different diseases that could be cured by stem cell research, one being diabeties and another being an incurable form of alopeca that because it scares and flakes and pusses makes it hard for me to find work. So yes I do think that the research is worth it. I also don’t belive that life begains at conception and these embroys would not become children anyway, really do we need more uncared for children in this world.
I have done a lot of research into this, I have not just looked at what I’m told on tv or by the news. Really the choice does come down to what you believe in, I just want people to make an informed vote.
