Comments Off on Michael J. Fox, Stem Cells and Science

I have been watching the right side of the blogosphere with a great deal of amusement and not a little bit of anger over the ad Michael J. Fox has done for Claire McCaskill in Missouri. Part of the problem is that most Americans have NO idea how basic science and scientific research is done. As a result we see people consistently parade around the idea, “that if embroynic stem cell have any value, private industry would be working with them.”

Yes there is a war in the show and yes it has an insurgency.)
