In the McCaskill ad, MJ Fox says, “Senator Talent even wanted to criminalize the science that gives us a chance for hope.” That is misleading. That is untrue. The Senate bill wanted to prohibit cloning, not all stem-cell research or even all embryonic-stem-cell research. In opposing Amendment 2 in Missouri right now, Talent opposes writing a right to cloning into the state constitution. There’s a whole lot of research that can be done that has nothing to do with Senator Talent wanting to ”put[] scientists and researchers behind bars.”
