Default Re: Limbaugh attacks Michael J. Fox

Symptoms of Parkinson's are rigidity of muscles but tremors of the limbs, so going of his meds could induce getting these tremors.

People that say that embryonic stem cell research has no promise don't know what they are talking about (and in particular for neuronal adult stem cells do not). Specifically diseases like Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis are great candidates for stem cell treatment. Spinal cord injury I think is probably a lot further away if it will ever be able to be cured.

edited to add that I am in no way surprised that Limbaugh would do this. Complain if you want that he is being "used" by the Democrats, a personal attack like this is just crass and besides the point.
