O.K. so it's not that difficult. Jerry Zucker, director of My Best Friend's Wedding, Naked Gun, Airplane and many others, has produced a TV commercial advocating embryonic stem cell research. His daughter has juvenile diabetes (read our previous Wired News story here). The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill today that would expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, but President Bush, who figures prominently in the commercial, has promised to veto it. The first veto of his presidency shot down a very similar bill.
The commercial does a good job of showing exactly how IVF clinics store and dispose of leftover embryos, and drives home the president's illogical argument behind his 2001 executive order.
