Michael J. Fox attacked for his support of stem-cell research

The right-wing, anti-science crowd dissents viscously:

Rightie reaction? John Amato has an audio of Rush Limbaugh accusing Fox of faking his symptoms. “He is an actor, after all,” says Rush. (Rush is from a very wealthy and influential southeast Missouri family.) . . .

. . . While Michael J. Fox (like me) has some skin in the stem cell game that most people don’Â’t, that doesn’Â’t give him any special appreciation of the moral issues involved with embryonic stem cell research. Sick people may want cures and treatments more than the healthy population, but that doesn’Â’t make them/us experts on morality.
