However it is a fact about his religion that they do not reconize certain mental conditions therefore as a result keeping the parents from seeking medical help and in my personal views again when it comes to a child whether famous or not god help me my child religion or not would never ever ever stop me from getting the help or treatment my child deserves to at least try to live a normal life.I guess I look at the courage Micheal J. Fox had to talk about his illiness and to bring awareness like he does and to raise funds like he does, he is doing so much good for people who are effected with the illiness he suffers from , and its him I can only imagine if it was one of his children how much more Micheal J. Fox would do. Perhaps I feel differently but again as a mom I would do anything to help my child and would never ever hide behind the illiness and pretend like there is nothing in wrong and more then that make any religion make a decision for the health and well being and treatment of my child never ever.

While you have basically repeated yourself from above, the one new component you brought up is that Michael J. Fox is an adult and thus, entitled to put himself out there in any way, shape, or form he chooses. An adult can do that to themselves. An adult's "right" to do that to a child is questionable, imo. We have no way of knowing how Michael J. Fox would have responded had it been one of his children instead of him....speculation again.
