Michael J. Fox is a famous TV and movie star. He is witty. He is charming. A few years ago, we learned he has Parkinson's disease.
PD is a slowly progressive neurological disorder, characterized by tremors, shuffling gait, a masklike facial expression, "pill rolling" of the fingers, drooling, intolerance to heat, oily skin, emotional instability and defective judgment (although intelligence is rarely impaired).
PD is currently incurable, although there are several methods to slow its advancement, including drug therapy and surgery.
PD is tragic, particularly in Fox's case, because it rarely afflicts persons under 60 years old.
Yet everyone faces tragedy at one time or another, in one form or another. A person's moral fiber is revealed in tragedy.
So we learned through Fox's affliction that he has either extremely poor judgment or a diabolical character flaw. He supports human embryonic stem-cell experimentation, thus contending that some humans are subhuman and expendable for others' personal gain.

So...
Fox is Canadian, why doesn't he go back there and cry to his government?
That's exactly what it is.
My sympathies are with him and his family. There are other sufferers of this dreaded disease too. Fox just happens to be a high profile case like Janet Reno.
'Parting' people out makes as much sense as killing them out of convenience. Once human life gets devalued to a certain point, all sorts of rationale can be ginned up for committing homicide.
Gov. Ahnold just came out in favor of cannibalism too!!
His parents from the show are out campaigning for Kerry.
What about all the peopl donating eggs and sperm and doing IVF?
Cannibalism? Is he actually eating the embryos?
After seeing my Dad suffer horribly with PD, growing worse and worse over the last 15 years, to the point now that I almost don't recognize him anymore, I support stem cell research too. Call me a cannibal, I don't give a rat's ass. My Dad has tried every remedy out there, even surgery, to little avail. I don't think he's going to last much longer--this disease will kill him, and is practically killing my Mom, too, with the stress it causes her.
If Canada's socialized medicine health care system is so great, and ours is so bad, why isn't Michael J. Fox getting his medical care in Canada?
Where's an image from that South Park show where Chris Reeves was sucking stem cells out of babies?
* Note. The link has an image from the show South Park depicting "Christopher Reeves" sucking on a dead fetus so he can get "well". Looks like Michael J. Fox and others want to do the same thing in real life. Monsters.

You are kidding, right? It is not the same.
