    It would be so easy to be jaded about your twin brother being a huge celebrity, and on top of that, you being born with health challenges. But this man is living life and grateful for it, and now helping others. What a total legend and inspiration!!! What an exceptional person.

      On the other hand, it's a bonus that if you're going to be born with the sh*t end of the stick, it's lucky his brother is a multi-millionaire AND a good guy!

      But not jaded from jealousy Jaded from lack of privacy No one wants to be thrown into the spotlight like that especially someone with a disability I also have cerebral palsy so I know where he’s coming from When you have a noticeable disability you get one of two reactions out of people Relentless bullying or people who wanna baby you all the time and never take you seriously about anything like you’re a child No one wants to be treated that way disability or not 💯

Fortunately, he didn't die but he was in the hospital for a two weeks afterwards, he is such a kind soul, and so smart too!

    He's probably the strongest person closest to him that his brother knows. After having all the ease of being "the normal one" and experiencing his own health issues, why wouldn't he be reflective on his brother's struggles and indifference to his own condition? That's respect. That's human. Very admirable. Ashton Kutcher has come a long way since getting married and portraying Steve Jobs

      Just because you are in “perfect health” does not mean life cannot be hard in other ways. By the way, you are assuming these people are in “perfect health.” No one’s health is perfect.

    As an outsider it's heartwarming to see the closeness between these siblings. Not everyone has such a strong family bond. It's wonderful to see MIla and Aston stay strong in view of his health scare. It could've turned into a life long debilitating struggle. Reminds me of Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy they obviously took their vows, in sickness and in health to heart .Compare that against other married celebs who dump their spouses at the drop of a hat or trade in their old wives for younger models. Getting a divorce is effortless for some, like changing soiled underwear. J Lo, Kimho & West, The Bradys, Holmes and Robach, Fergie and Josh, many other examples. Since they live their lives in the public spectrum they're fair game for ridicule.

    Fun Fact : Ashton Kutcher went to school to be a doctor at U of I, but was more interested in Biochemical Engineering (creating medicine) partly due to his brother. He became a model as a dare between friends, but left college for his modeling career, and his alcohol use. It's good to see he's keeping true to his word to his brother in the end.

    Major respect for both of them after seeing this especially Ashton's brother for wanting to help others with CP to deal with this difficulty. My financial guy who helped me set up my IRA was born with CP, but he like Michael hasn't let it define who he is. He went & got his degree in financing, and helps others like me to get ready for retirement.

    My brother also has cerebral palsy and I commend them for speaking out and bringing more awareness. There’s a lot of guilt in having a sibling with a disability and a lot of heartache as it’s not easy especially as a child to watch your brother go through so much pain. Hopefully they can use their platform to raise money for more research on how to prevent and treat cp.

    Me and my twin have same story . I was born with bad heart and about to get my fourth heart transplant at 22 . My sister was born normal . We are inseparable we do everything together ❤I also was give 1 year at birth and my last transplant I flatlined and saw heaven .
    Edit : I just saw the comments ty all for the love and support. I understand that people would get triggered for something I can’t control. I accept people have different religious views and don’t believe me. Im a psychic for living . After my near death experience at 11 I developed a understanding and knowing for this world I purposely came down here.
    When I flatlined I went back to the
    Creator. Everything was white pure light I was just my soul. I was ascending for what felt like minutes. Then god telepathically told me it’s not my time and I’m needed here . I got knocked back into my body at light force and woke up in a coma 3 days later on the
    Ventilator. So heaven from my experience is going back into light . My souls original state of being .
