This new stem cell television commercial presents the ethical issues concerning human embryonic stem cell research in a very personal way.
Mary, a Muscular Dystrophy patient, tells in her own words that she wants to be cured, but not if it means destroying another human life, "After all, you and I began as tiny human embryos, too."

Mary informs the viewers that many other sources of stem cells, such as umbilical cord blood and adult stem cells have already treated or cured thousands of patients. She asks, "Guess how many treatments and cures there have been using human embryonic stem cells? None."
This powerful message ends with an invitation to learn the facts about stem cell research by visiting the web site www.stemcellfacts.org.
While this commercial is initially being used to educate against public funding of embryonic stem cell research in the State of Kentucky, this ad can be customized to meet the particular needs of other pro-life organizations in other areas as well.
