Pope John Paul II did not advocate the killing of babies to cure his disease, there is a difference.

I think it'd certainly be appropriate, if a touch specific. Perhaps the Patron of those with muscular disease. This would include parkinsons but would also include Mononucleosis, muscular dystrophy, etc. Rather more inclusive while still being appropriate. Perhaps neurological disease as well, since Parkinson's is primarily neurologic in nature.

He was a shining example of living with suffering. He advocated for those with little voice; the unborn, the elderly, the terminally ill. Specifically because of his condition, he was in a position to speak against the killing of an unborn life for the saving of an adult one.

That would be a nice jesture. He is, however, going to be JohnPaul the Great! Only two other Popes have that title. Gregory and Leo.

Someone shouldn't be for anything like that unless they were doing work that helps towards finding cures and ways to ease it.

I wouldn't. Christianity has too many gods in it already.
