"Le-bar nash be-neshak" is the opening line spoken by Jim Caviezel in the Missouri Question #2 advertisement. Question #2 gives biotech companies in Missouri a Constitutional right to conduct Embryonic Stem Cell research, without restraint on cloning or human female egg farming. Embryonic Stem Cells come from Embryos, the earliest development stage of every human person. The Embryos are destroyed when the stem cells are harvested, so the person never gets the chance to be born. Proponents of Embryonic Stem Cell research promise a multitude of cures, though no cure has come from any Embryonic Stem cell, while adult Stem Cells are used in multiple therapies and cures. This is why the Venture Capitalists have not funded Embyronic Stem Cell research - as Money guys they don't see the payoff. This is also why the Biotech companies want the government to fund this research.
The promise is the kiss. "Le-bar nash be-neshak" is what Jesus said to Judas in the Garden of Gethsemanie: "You betray me with a kiss." Question #2 is a kiss of death for those at the earliest stages of human development.

I haven't seen the ad, but I bet it is excellent from what I've heard.
it is. And it was great to see some 'famous' people who had convictions that were not based on expediency or popularity.
