Well, as someone who hasn't seen the ad either, my perspective on the issue is colored more by folks (I think Laura Bush was one, back in the day) who chastised people for giving "false hope" as buttressing their argument that you shouldn't support stem cell research in the first place.
If people present support for stem cell research as providing a cure tomorrow, shame on them, but that's hardly a reason to reject doing the research.
