NEW YORK -- "The symptoms of Parkinson's disease that all but ended Michael J. Fox's acting career are making him a powerfully vulnerable campaign pitchman for five Democrats who support stem cell research.

In 30-second TV ads for Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin, who is running for the Senate in Maryland, Senate candidate Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, Fox shakes and rocks as he directly addresses the camera, making no effort to hide the effects of his disease."

I just watched the ad and it made my eyes water. Michael J. Fox seems so down to earth. I love him. Seeing him so sick is just awful. It really makes you think good and hard about stem cell research.
