The emphasis issue is indeed where we are at impasse. The fact is that there are many deserving technologies for many other more prevalent and populationally (inventing new words) important diseases. Having a celeb drum up financial and political support for his/her cause does not do the entire population the good it deserves from the limited monies available.

Furthermore, other than the fact that he has the disease, he is entirely unqualified to discuss the scientific value of the technology or it's ethical complications. To add insult to injury, Fox's stand probably will suck money away from other less controversial treatment options which may have more immediate benefits for PD itself.

Finally, I wrote that the '"postulate" that Fox did not take his meds for the ad was not farfetched given that he freely admits that he took what I guess you would term "dramatic license" with his congressional testimony by not taking his meds. I further noted that the postulate was unproven.
