I bet none of the celebrities actually stop by Fox's house and ask him how he's doing, offering him money or assistance. Nope, typical back-stabbing liberal elitists, they use people and spit them back out when they're not accessible anymore. Look at Bill Clinton. How many celebrities actually want to hang out with him anymore now that he's out of power?
The sad thing is, is that the political/celebrity Left doesn't give a damn about Fox's condition per se; it's all about advancing their toxic agenda.

Of course not. The same with Christopher Reeve. He was used as an "emotional promotion piece" and thrown out. Just like Fox. Another sad dupe. But this is how the libs operate. You are only useful until you can no longer generate money or votes. Then you are history. Kinda like the long list of Clinton confidants.
Like Elaine Benes' dance in Seinfeld?
Thanks. He should have changed his name to cause me less confusion. Dag nab it.
Alan Colmes asked Michael Reagan an entrapment question, "Do you think your mother Nancy was exploited by the embronic stem cell people?"
Much to Alan's shock (including me and I suppose everyone else), the answer was, "Yes, and so was Christopher Reeve".

No, my statement, which I do not find ridiculous at all, is that both the blastocyst stage and four-and-a-half years old are stages of human development. That should be quite clear from a plain reading of the original statement.
Don't you agree that this statement is true?
I do not confer equivalence to a blastocyst and four-and-a-half year old. They are obviously different. Likewise a sigle spermatazoa is different, even from a blastocyst. This should be apparent even to the casual observer.
And. . .Democrats want to continue to kill (abort) a million babies a year.
Michael J. Fox goes off his meds to dance his little dance to make us ignore these facts.
Sorry, Mr. Bojangles, your party murders people while ours protects their lives--even yours. . . .
For, it remains for the nonmedical actor Democrat hacktivist Fox et al to demonstrate ANY return on embryonic stem cell research.
Democrats and their death camps in hideous disguise cannot do a thing about the stench.
Good comments Phil, especially since they haven't proved one thing that shows embryonic stem cells to be superior to adult stem cells.
Sorry I forgot the song has already been named. The Jerk!
Does the value of the research matter? By arguing about the value of research, we accept the utilitarian argument that this nascent human life can be destroyed if the value derived from the destruction is high enough.
I reject this argument wholesale. If I cannot determine the value of the human life objectively, how am I to measure it against the value of the research? If the value of the human life of a blastocyst is zero, then it would be fine destroy them for any purpose, and there should be Embryo Milkshakes available down at the Dairy Queen. However, if there is some positive value to be placed on this human life, any argument that weighs that value against anything else must assume that that value can be ascertained.
This is simply beyond our capabilities as human beings. I will not tinker with the machinery of weighing the value of some human life against other things. Down that road lies all the horrors of the 20th Century, and Hundreds of Millions dead.
These people need to GROW UP. We all have compassion for Michael J. Fox. It's a pity what's happened to him. But NOBODY is immune from criticism when they peddle mistruths in the public arena, especially with an election at stake. You can't just lie with impunity, whatever victim status you claim.
Like "fetal" sounds like a combination of "fecal" and "fatal."
("I didn't kill an unborn baby as long as your index finger, I merely removed 5 cm fetal material...")
See Politics and the English Language by George Orwell.
I should have made clear that my comment was directed to gridlock. I pinged you only because I was concerned that you had somehow taken at face value gridlock's ridiculous misrepresentation that I somehow favored a viability test based upon the ability to ride a bicycle.
Hey, LexBaird! Looks like atlaw has decided to leave with this comment, in spite of multiple attempts to engage his arguments. Ironic, isn't it?
Don't you agree that this statement is true?
Oh. Ok. So we're back to the unremarkable observation that human reproduction and development involves a lot of "stages." I am, of course, happy to agree with that, but I don't find it any more insightful than an observation that weather involves a lot of "patterns."
Thanks, Palladin. :-)
Ooops. You're a post late with your snorting.
I think you're right - this is a "drama queen" tactic used by the left and their "half truth" minions in the MSM... Now that the population has realized Republicans aren't starving old people to death, or making them eat dog food - the dems have come up with the new one - we're trying to keep diseases from being cured. If dems politicize medicine, it'll hurt the sick in the long run. In the short run, they'll get a few votes, they must not care about anyone but themselves...
Liberals never let that stop them.
