Fox Off His Medication To Tape Ads?
It appears that Michael J. Fox went off his medications before shooting his deceptive ads against Senator Jim Talent and other politicians.
I don't think this is deceptive in that Fox wasn't faking his symptoms, only showing how he would be without the medications. Plus, eventually the meds stop working. But it was sure emotionally exploitive. The purpose being to get people to "feel" not "think." We'll see if it works.
P.S. Fox's home country of Canada has banned all human cloning--which he criticizes American politicians for wanting to do in his deceptive ads, only he falsely claims that these American candidates want to ban stem cell research. Deception upon deception: SCNT cloning and ESCR are not synonyms. SCNT creates a new human cloned embryo. ESCR destroys embryos that have been previously created. This distinction is morally important--which is why the pro cloners pretend that SCNT and ESCR are the same things.

Do the symptoms we saw Fox exhibit in the commercial occur when Parkinson's sufferers go off their meds?
MSNBC's Keith Olberman (no ratings register for his show)called Rush Limbaugh the worst person in the world for suggesting Fox was off his meds because he says it's factually untrue. He says Parkinson's sufferers get rigid when they go off their meds, not the hard to control motions we see in the commercial. Limbaugh has been noting today that Fox has written that he's gone of medications before testifying. That's been the basis for his speculation about Fox being on or off his meds for the commercial.
I think it depends on the state of the disease. I had a doctor who saw the ad tell me it appeared Fox was off the medications. I actually think the rigidity may be something that happens with the medications, but I could be wrong about that. Think John Paul II's rigidity, who was on his medications.
They want to win and the don't want the truth to stand in the way.
Recent ads seem to indicate it may not be working any more.
"Recent ads"? Do you mean "recent polls"?
Indeed. Recent polls. Thanks.
