No longer able to scare his consitutuents into opposing life-saving research, and afraid that his base won't turn out for Forrester, Assemblyman Michael Carroll (R-Morris Twp) has resorted to new lows. While his anti-cure stance is par for the course for anyone trying to win over the extremist radical vote, Carroll goes a bit farther than most. In a recent email to campaign supporters, he not only scares his audience with absurd made up procedures, he also blatantly lies:Advocates of stem cell research, unhappy with being restricted simply to embryonic stem cells, now propose to use FETAL stem cells. Securing those cells requires pregnancy. This means deliberately cloning human beings, implanting the eggs in a woman, and starting a pregnancy. Perhaps immediately before birth, the pregnancy would be (VERY CAREFULLY) aborted and the child's parts harvested for use by its adult clone.
Scary, right? It's called "fetal farming." Most European nations ban it; even that noble body of enlightened wisdom-- the United Nations-- proposes a similar ban. In only one state is it specifically legal:
Unfortunately, you're standing in it.
New Jersey enjoys the dubious honor of leading the nation in cloning research.
