""Stem Cells An Unlikely Therapy for Alzheimer's
Reagan-Inspired Zeal For Study Continues

Ronald Reagan's death from Alzheimer's disease Saturday has triggered an outpouring of support for human embryonic stem cell research. Building on comments made by Nancy Reagan last month, scores of senators on Monday called upon President Bush to loosen his restrictions on the controversial research, which requires the destruction of human embryos. Patient groups have also chimed in, and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday added his support for a policy review.
It is the kind of advocacy that researchers have craved for years, and none wants to slow its momentum.
But the infrequently voiced reality, stem cell experts confess, is that, of all the diseases that may someday be cured by embryonic stem cell treatments, Alzheimer's is among the least likely to benefit. ""
Bush's big mistake was opening the door a crack. And I can't tell you how disappointed I am in Frist. Worse than disappointed.
I'm so tempted to say that we should clone 99 Rick Santorums.
