He just announced this on Hardball; he said that Kerry told him this personally on the phone while they were discussing Reagan's appearance at the Democratic Convention that his first act in office if he's elected will be to sign an executive order to reverse Bush's stem cell policy.
You're a selfish POS, Ron.

Aw geeze commish...why don't you tell us what you really think of them? LOL
I agree 100% with your post. My mom died of Alzheimers Sept. 15th(my dad's birthday-he passed in '96)2003. She would have been horrified about stem cell experiments, being a staunch pro life supporter. She passed away at 82. It was her time.
Little Ronny just wants to stick it to the Republicans, he doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but himself.
re: Larry Kramer article - I think the virus has gone to his brain.
Much better.
Facts are a huge nuisance to the left.
Yeah....and what the heck are the delegates gonna do? They are in a bind. Wait. Never mind. They're monitoring this thread.....uh uh. I'm NOT giving Jr., etal, any ideas.
Disgusting, grotesque, and diabolical.
The prohibition was challenged in 1999 by the Clinton administration, which wrote new NIH guidelines permitting embryonic stem-cell research by federal agencies - provided stem cells were extracted with private funds.

"The key here is a lot of people say, 'Well, you are against all stem-cell research.' That is not true. … What the media do not cover enough of are the success stories of the alternative research and some of the negatives which have been associated with the embryonic stem-cell research," says David Prentice, a professor of life sciences at Indiana State University and an adjunct professor of medical and molecular genetics at the University of Indiana School of Medicine.
Writing in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, Neil Scolding of the Institute of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Bristol in England argued that "the rapid progress made in research with stem cells from adults and the clear evidence of the potential therapeutic value of these stem cells make it misleading to suggest that arguing against legalizing embryo research is to deny sufferers hope, or to prevent scientific or therapeutic progress."

a study conducted by California-based Geron seeking to produce brain cells from embryonic stem cells not only failed to do so, but actually killed brain cells.
Almost all the positive accomplishments in stem cell use have been made with adult stem cells. In cases where the cells can be harvested from the patient who later receives them, adult stem cells don't threaten the recipient's immune system.
If federal funds are not diverted to embryonic stem cell research, adult stem cell therapeutics will become a reality much sooner.
and it will backfire
That person is so typical of that liberal ilk. It's someone else's fault that their personal behavior caused their illness. Also he needed to check his facts.
RRjr may be one of them or not, that is irrelevant. The ballerina is not a quarter of the man his father was.
That is hideous. We face a very evil enemy.
Many people I talk to about the subject of Alzheimer's always speak about how horrible it is to not be recognized by their own parent. I know that pain, but it's my pain...NOT MY FATHERS. When my father didn't know who I was he got upset, my goal was to comfort him, not me.
I have been asked by people how to deal with this part of it and my response has always been the same. Your mom or dad has spent a lifetime comforting you, now it's time for you to comfort them.
This is just my opinion, but I feel Alzheimer's is much harder on the relatives than it is the person suffering from it. So I cast my vote for spending the money on curing childhood diseases
While the overwhelming majority of favorable media coverage of stem cells concerns those pulled from human embryos, called embryonic stem cells (ESCs), not a single treatment listed above has used that kind of cell. In fact, while activists such as spinally injured actor Christopher Reeve rage that but for Bush administration and congressional restrictions on ESC funding he might be walking in a few years, there are no approved treatments - and have been no human trials - involving embryonic stem cells. Each of the above therapies and experiments has involved cells that require no use of embryos.
Why does he say that?
Is it because that is what john kerry told him?
Anyone who believes john kerry is a fool.
Contary to" What you don't know won't hurt you" saying, what you don't know about john kerry will hurt you very, very bad.
Uh, until he flip flops and decides the UN needs attention first. Ron Reagan is a fool if he believes a single word out of that idiot's botoxicated mouth.
