It's sad that Michael J. Fox has this disease. It doesn't even bother me that he would use the disease to bring awareness to it.
However, using that disease to manipulate the public into destroying more lives, just to save him is pretty pathetic, if you ask me. The media attempts to make Rush Limbaugh the villian by pointing out Fox's false assertions, I honestly don't think will work this time. It is Fox who injected himself into this debate and is using his "star power" to manipulate the public to vote for candidates who will vote to destroy human lives just to save his.
Because he stepped into this arena, he deserves much of the criticism heaped upon him for his "factually challenged" statements.
I wonder what Fox's answer would be to this: They find a cure. But, they only have enough to cure one person. Would he demand that it be him?
It's not even limited to that. Most likely his course of action is counterproductive to that end. He could readily acknowledge the progress with adult and cord stem cells and simply advocate more funds for that...but he's not.
