Your government has pushed hard for the initiative of $450 million funding for embryonic the stem cell research, which was overwhelmingly reject by New Jersey voters in November of 2007. This might have been a big surprise for you, since New Jersey had already spent $270 millions on research buildings.

Corzine donated $150,000 to the northern New Jersey chapter of Planned Parenthood in April 1999

In yesterday speech you have talked about fiscal responsibility and that there is no magic when it comes to money and finances. I am sure most of the New Jerseyans would agree with you on that. However in the light that your government was willing to spend half a billion on the research that has failed to produce a single cure is not an assurance of your government’s will to become fiscally responsible.

New Jersey is one of the states that assists Planned Parenthood with federal and state taxpayers money. According to FY ‘08 state budget two Planned Parenthood affiliates of Mercer County and Central Jersey are to receive over $11 million in both federal and state tax money.

As New Jersey resident I have one question. How much of the money your are planing to raise via proposed initiative will end up paying for abortions and destruction of human embryos?

So many “promising” signs in the stem cell research so far produced zero cures when it come to destroying embryos. Using adults stem cells is far more promising, but as of today there is decease that have been cured. There is an interesting article on Yahoo News about these unproven treatments offered by Chinese doctors:

They’re paralyzed from diving accidents and car crashes, disabled by Parkinson’s, or blind. With few options available at home in America, they search the Internet for experimental treatments — and often land on Web sites promoting stem cell treatments in China.

They mortgage their houses and their hometowns hold fundraisers as they scrape together the tens of thousands of dollars needed for travel and the hope for a miracle cure.

The article can be enlightening for those considering such treatments abroad. However there is another side to this story. If they are using embryos to get the stem cells, Chinese might be destroying embryos in hundreds or even thousands. For some reason, when talking about embryonic research we mistakenly think that just one embryo can deliver the “cure”. In fact it can take 15-20 embryos to produce a single strain of stem cells.
