I, too, haven't seen the ad and can't tell you the extent to which he personalizes it or not, but even if he did, it strikes me that there is a long life expectancy with Parkinson's (my G'mother lived with it for 15 years, though the last few were very sad), and it's entirely possible that he could be helped by genetic therapy 10 years from now.
What are your views on the Limbaugh response? I'm really not sure why you chose to get upset about a Michael J. Fox ad you hadn't seen rather than the Limbaugh tirade.
