clipper's remarks: I found this to be a really interesting story...

TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) - Jim Caviezel, the star of the blockbuster film The Passion of the Christ, told an interviewer that he had been challenged by a friend who was not pro-life to live up to his professed pro-life convictions and adopt a disabled child.

The friend told Caviezel that if he did that, then he would change to the pro-life position. When Caviezel and his wife, Kerri, went to China to adopt not one, but eventually two orphans suffering from brain tumours, the friend reneged on the deal. Caviezel, however, said, "It didn't matter to me because the joy that we had from (Bo) - he's like our own."

The couple's first child, Bo, had been abandoned on a train, grew up in an orphanage until he was five and was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The Caviezels nursed Bo through his surgeries and he remains today at the centre of the family.

"You have no idea the blessings that you have coming" says Pro-Life Caviezel to parents considering adoption.

'Jesus Christ,' 'Raymond' Wife Take on Stem Cells

clipper's remarks: Hrm.. take the word of some ACTORS.. or SCIENTISTS?

At least with MJF, he is a victim of a disease that may benefit from stem cell research, but what do any of these guys have to do with it? One comment on the blog is: "They have a right to their opinions, but they NEVER stated what their reasons really were for opposing stem cell research.". At least MJF gave his opinion & reasons...

Personally, I'd rather see ads from the scientists, lawyers & religious community expressing why they think voters should vote for or against the bill. Actors are not experts, none of them are scientists, nor are they lawyers (playing on on TV does not count), or religious leaders, or at least victims of a disease/sickness (like MJF).

I'm not saying they can't have an opinion.. I'm just saying I don't really care about it unless they are directly involved. Personally, I think MJF laid it on a bit thick in his commercial, but at least he's probably done his homework.

I don't know about you, but when it comes to stem-cell research, I rely entirely on the expert opinions of celebrities. I'll take the cast of "Law & Order: SVU" over a bunch of know-nothing scientists any day.

The foes of a stem-cell ballot measure in Missouri are hoping I have lots of company.

In a new ad, a handful of sports stars and Hollywood types urge viewers to vote against stem-cell research. Patricia Heaton of "Everybody Loves Raymond" takes a break from Albertsons ads to give her two cents, along with Jim Caviezel (who played some guy named Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ") and a couple baseball players.
