Actor Fox Films Campaign Ad for Kerry

NEW YORK (AP) -- Actor Michael J. Fox is returning to TV _ in a commercial praising Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry for his stance on stem cell research.

"John Kerry strongly supports stem cell research. George Bush is putting limits on it," Fox says in an ad Kerry's campaign unveiled Thursday. "Stem cell research can help millions of Americans whose lives have been touched by devastating illnesses. George Bush says we can wait. I say lives are at stake and it's time for leadership. That's why I support John Kerry for president."

The campaign said the ad would run in local media markets in states considered battlegrounds. Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, campaigned with Kerry in New Hampshire on Monday and filmed the ad after the event.

Three years ago, Bush limited federal funding of embryonic stem cell research to the 78 stem cell lines in existence. Less than a third of those initial lines are available to researchers because of problems with the lines' growth or their ownership.
