Op-Ed: Life and death race: Politics and stem cell issue

October 27, 2006

The TV ad is disturbing and difficult to watch. Michael J. Fox’s face, so familiar from all his appearances in the “Back to the Future” movies and hit TV shows such as “Family Ties,” “Spin City” and “Boston Legal,” bobs uncontrollably around the screen. Why? Then you remember: Fox is a relatively young man who suffers from Parkinson’s disease. And that is precisely the point of the ad. (MSNBC)
