This is something she takes very seriously, something I take very seriously, too. And it's shameful this administration has played politics with an issue that ... could be the biggest medical breakthrough in history. This could be bigger than antibiotics. This administration is pandering to the most ignorant segment of our society for votes and throwing up roadblocks to this sort of research. It's absolutely shameful.
The more Ron Prescott talks, the more it is apparent that he used his eulogy to his father to settle scores with not only the GOP and Bush, but with his sister and adopted brother, the latter of whom spoke of someday joining Ronald Wilson and his late sister Maureen in heaven.
As William F. Buckley implied, if this is the "mindfulness and loving kindness and compassion" that Ron's father taught him, it didn't take.
To Ron Reagan: You are not qualified to discuss embryonic stem cell research. There may/may be potential benefits, but the question is whether human life should be sacrificed to find out. There are other stem cells that can be used as well. Moreover, GWB only has control over USG funded research. Privately, researchers can do whatever they want. Put your own money where your mouth is.
