Hot on the heals of my post earlier today about the flurry of misinformation-laden ads being aired in Michigan to try to prevent Proposition 2, the proposed amendment to the Michigan State Constitution that would allow embryonic stem cell research using embryos that would be discarded from fertility clinics, I've learned that my alma mater, the University of Michigan, where I did both my undergraduate and medical school training, has released a series of videos countering the dishonest propaganda of groups like MiCAUSE:
The truth about stem cell science
And there's more:
Where Do Embryonic Stem Cells Come From?
Embryonic Stem Cell Research in Michigan: What is at Stake"?
Embryonic Stem Cell Research: The Facts About the Science
Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Ethics and Morality
Watch them all.

Painful to watch? Not for NYers. We have been immunized against the pain by the Jets, Mets, Knicks, et al.
So I've learned from my sojourn in the greater NYC metropolitan area.
These vids are made of AWSUM. Thanks!
