I am a living testament to the silliness of that claim. So are those who have avoided contracting polio, rabies, chickenpox, rubella and hepatitis A due to vaccines developed with the use of fetal cells. Those with devastating disorders such as Alzheimer s disease and Parkinson s disease and their families must speak out now about the promise of this research before this legal and moral activity is taken from us politically. We deserve a chance at leading caring, productive lives as I now do. Good citizens everywhere can disagree on ethical issues associated with the emerging sciences.
Civil discourse is our heritage.
I have seen the hate-filled literature, full of falsehoods and distortions. I ask all Nebraskans to denounce these tactics. Get the facts and don t support or oppose candidates solely on their stand on whether this vital research should continue. Someday, you, too, may need a scientific miracle sent from God.
