Why should MJF be "excused".

Odds are that fetal stem cell research would not provide a cure to Parkinsons. But if you are suffering from Parkinsons and there is 1 chance in a million that it might, then you might be upset at the possibility that the door is closed to further research (more so if you are not pro-Life to begin with). It is the Democrats (McCaskill) who are taking unfair advantage of Fox, his illness & his attitudes about ethical medical research to create a cheap, drive-by hit piece.

Well MJF could take the lead so to speak. He and his wife could produce their own embryos and they could harvest those embryos they produced together for the stem cells. It is perfectly legal.

Why won't MJF take the lead in that respect. I ask you?

Sorry, not good enough for me. As a cancer survivor, I guess my opinion means as much as Michael J. Fox's, so I say that I would not seek out treatment that was developed by harvesting other humans, born or unborn.
