And we have a really big one that has generated tons of bizarre ads against it...
Proposal 2:
A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO ADDRESS HUMAN EMBRYO AND HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH IN MICHIGAN
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
* Expand use of human embryos for any research permitted under federal law subject to the following limits: the embryos
are created for fertility treatment purposes;
are not suitable for implantation or are in excess of clinical needs;
would be discarded unless used for research;
were donated by the person seeking fertility treatment.
* Provide that stem cells cannot be taken from human embryos more than 14 days after cell division begins.
* Prohibit any person from selling or purchasing human embryos for stem cell research.
* Prohibit state and local laws that prevent, restrict or discourage stem cell research, future therapies and cures.
I bolded the part that has some people worried, even those who are all for continued embryonic stem cell research. Even *I* have concerns about that last line. I'm honestly not sure what to do about that one.
The ads against it are ridiculous though. One ad talks about how much money this will cost tax payers (for the research, apparently). One shows office buildings with names like EmbryoPro and stuff, as if there will be embryo factories as a result of this being passed. Another talks about how someone could merge human and animal embryos and they show someone raising their "hoof" in an audience.
what state is this for?

Seeing as it is a "A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO ADDRESS HUMAN EMBRYO AND HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH IN MICHIGAN," I'm going to guess Nebraska or Florida.

Even when AGDee's location says "Michigan"?
I'm glad I live somewhere that voter propositions don't go on the ballot. No constitutional amendments or bond referenda this year.
