Michael J. Fox's logic is Shaky...
As a Hollywood star who has Parkinson's Disease, Michael made some statements on Good Morning America which have shaky logic. He said that we should take the 100 million cells that are going to be destroyed anyway and help 1 million already living people with diseases. He was refering to the potential veto of the embryonic stem cell research bill. He tried to make it sound like these are just 100 million individual stem cells waiting to be used for research, when in actuality they are cells attached in bundles that we call embryonic humans (the start of a normal human being with a lifetime ahead). They have been started by couples who wanted to have children and fertility clinics helped them begin embryos to later be implanted in the womb. Why should we take the potential lives of humans to help those with diseased bodies? Why do we not have those same diseased people offering to give up their normal organs to those who need them, and sacrifice their lives for someone else? At least, they have a choice... and pro-choice people should want to protect the rights of the unborn. For all we know those same people will in time begin to view diseased people as expendable as well and euthanize them and harvest their organs.

When one group of people begin to devalue the lives of others, they are doing the same thing that we have done in history to those we think are expendable. We enslave them, torture them, or kill them in the name of bettering society.

Furthermore, there is a lot of research using adult stem cells from donors who choose to give them. Maybe the adult stem cells are not as easy to manipulate into what the geneticists want them to be. When will those same geneticists also want to manipulate the uses for the embryonic stem cells. We are walking up a slippery slope. Maybe Adolf's dream of a superior race will be done more subtly.
