Boxing legend Muhammad Ali and actor Michael J. Fox appeared on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, urging top lawmakers to have open debates about stem cell research to help find a cure for Parkinson’s Disease, which both celebrities suffer from.
Fox addressed the politicians present, while Ali, because of his condition, let his wife, Lonnie, do the talking.
The actor told congressmen, “The debate is not about promoting one type of research over others. It’s about protecting researchers from being demonized and criminalized so they can go about their work exploring new opportunities to treat illness and disease.”
