The reason for the title is because of its approach. It couches whatever someone is selling under the disguise of one thing only to get you to buy into something else. To this I’m referring to stem cell research.

You’ve seen the advertisements about how stem cells hold promises of curing diseases and how that certain groups are wanting to stop that. Well, they’re not being totally honest with you is why.
The reason is there are two main areas of stem cell research. One is adult stem cell research which does not harm its donor. Then there is embryonic stem cell research. In that case it requires the destruction of the embryo which is tantamount to destroying one life in order to save another. In that case it’s basically saying it’s okay to take the life of something less developed than you to save lives. Something about trial of Nazi war crimes comes to mind here.
So here is the bait-and-switch. They talk about how stem cell research can find cures. But as yet the adult stem cell research is really what is currently showing promises and doesn’t harm or take a life. But they get you to buy that argument in order to get you to buy off on stem cell research, period, which will include the kind (embryonic) that will take a life. Adult stem cell research is not a moral dilemma because it’s not affecting the life of its donor. But embryonic does and it’s the reason it’s on the ballot however couched in ads and deception about how you need to vote for it because it saves lives and if not you’re taking lives basically. But yet they are the ones wanting you to vote to take lives.
If you feel that taking the life of someone who is not able to defend themselves is okay then vote yes. But you might want to read up on some of the justification that some of the Nazis did to justify killing others they thought were less human. This could be the blind, disabled, or any that someone deems less capable than someone else. This may include you.
But if you feel that taking the life of someone less developed no matter what lives it saves is not reserved for us to decide then vote NO. Force them to do research that does show promises yet doesn’t take lives. Otherwise someone may see the need that you die to save others. Also force them to quit the deceptive tactics and be open and honest about what they are trying to get you to buy into. But most important do some research yourself before you let them convince you that there is no problem with it at least. Don’t be ignorant and buy into it because it sounds nice. All evil does not come out as evil, it gets you to buy into something that sounds innocent or even enticing in order to get you to bite into something more destructive. But once you’ve bitten it’s too late. If you vote at least be an informed voter and don’t be deceived .
