Are you excited to display a Vote No on 2 yard sign? Yard signs are available at distribution points throughout Michigan. For a list of distribution points, please click here.

Please sign up to volunteer, we have prepared materials for you to inform your friends, neighbors and family! Together, we will vote No on Proposal 2 to stop live human embryo experimentation in Michigan.

Economic study grossly misleading

Will unregulated human embryos research cut health care costs, create hundreds of jobs and improve Michigan’s economy? The simple answer is “NO.” But that fact didn't stop a Wayne State professor from writting a misleading paper making unprovable claims.

Michigan: Thriving home for life sciences

Currently, Michigan is a thriving home for the life sciences. According to MichBio, "Whether yours is an expanding company, a fledgling startup, or a research institution, there is a thriving home for the life sciences in Michigan, and we invite you to be part of it."

MiCAUSE coalition growing

Join the MiCAUSE Coalition today! On November 4, Michigan voters will decide whether to radically amend the constitution to allow lethal research on live human embryos.

Michigan voters from across the state have joined together to voice opposition to Proposal 2. Democrats, Republicans, statewide organizations, doctors, nurses, attorneys, parents of adopted embryos, patients and others from all walks of life have come together to encourage fellow citizens to vote No on Proposal 2. Experimenting on and destroying human embryos is not the cure Michigan needs. Take a stand and let your voice be heard, please join the Vote No on 2 Coalition today!

Australia allows human cloning

A Reuters story reports the Australian government has issued its first license for scientists to begin cloning humans. Scientists are attempting to kill these cloned humans and use them as sources for embryonic stem cells. In Michigan, Proposal 2 would leave the door open for human cloning. Contrary to claims from Proposal 2 backers about “strengthening” the cloning ban, the amendment has a do-nothing clause that ignores the issue. According to the measure's director, Proposal 2 is designed to make the public “more comfortable” with human cloning. If adopted, repealing Michigan’s cloning ban would be revisited.

Human Cloning – Is that the cure Michigan needs? Vote No on Proposal 2.

Unrestricted science in Missouri leading to unrestricted tax payer funding. Could Michigan be next?

Missouri passed a constitutional amendment allowing lethal research on human embryos in 2006. Now, the state finds itself in a legal battle about laws that regulate funding of research on live human embryos and human cloning. Does their constitutional amendment remove Missouri's 2003 law which prevents funding of research on live human embryos? Legal experts are searching for answers.

In Michigan, the proposed Constitutional Amendment for the November ballot would allow lethal research on live human embryos. The proposal could also result in the people of Michigan being forced to pay for unrestricted, unregulated research, a problem Missouri is facing. If passed, the proposal would supersede any Michigan law on the books and usurp any attempt to regulate future policy governing scientific experimentation. The proposal could allow scientists to ignore laws and use your money for research on human-animal hybrids. British scientists at Newcastle University have resorted to creating cloned hybrid embryos which are part human and part cow.

California scientists want to overturn restrictions on selling and buying human eggs

Human embryonic stem cell researchers unable to come anywhere near treating human patients never blame themselves or embryonic stem cells for the failures, the blame is placed on restrictions. In Michigan, researchers blame a law which prevents them from killing human embryos. In California, where embryonic stem cell research is funded by billions of dollars, researchers are now blaming a rule which prevents them from buying eggs as the reason their human cloning research is failing. Marcy Darnovsky of the Center for Genetics and Society was quoted as saying, "Do we really want to put women at risk to provide raw materials for research a lot of scientists say really isn't the way to go?" Human egg "black markets" and conflicts of interest are serious concerns swirling around human embryonic stem cell research.

Unrestricted Science Points to Human-Animal Hybrids

British scientists at Newcastle University have resorted to creating cloned hybrid embryos which are part human and part cow. Cow eggs were used for these cloning experiments because researchers have had difficultly obtaining a large enough quantity of human eggs. MiCAUSE Spokesperson David Doyle said the loopholes in the proposal would outlaw any attempt by the Michigan legislature to ban creation of human-animal hybrids for stem cell research. Human-animal hybrids experimentation, which is going on now in the United Kingdom, serves as an example of unrestricted, unethical science.
