Michael J Fox Ad for Stem Cell Research
October 27th 2006 01:57
Michael J Fox has appeared in an ad for Missouri Democrat, Claire McCaskill to support stem cell research.
Supporters claim that stem cell research may have the potential to assist with degenerative diseases, such as Parkinsons Disease, which Michael suffers from.
In the video, Fox makes the twitches and shakes that are typical of Parkinson sufferers.
The right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh criticised the ad saying that Fox exaggerated the twitches and was 'acting' in the ad to garner sympathy. Michael has since come and denied this. Personally I think Rush is an idiot!
I love Michael J Fox, and it's so sad to see the effects of this disease on him.

You're right TonyK Michael J Fox does seem to be a really genuine guy. He's amazing, he still looks just like he did in his Alex P Keaton days on Family Ties.

If it wasn't stem cell research but another controversial treatment like shark cartalige the add would be viewed in a different light.
