Most Americans understand that Ronald Wilson Reagan, former and Ron Prescott (Reagan) are two different people. I don't think little Ron is going to sway conservative Republicans to vote for John Kerry, based on his support for embryonic stem cell research. At 83 years old, Nancy Reagan has two goals in her life. The Reagan Library and promoting embryonic stem cell research. I'd rather she concentrate on the Reagan Library, but being a former firts lady and lkiving in America, Mrs.Reagan is free to advance any issue she may choose. OTOH. I'm not so sure Ronald Reagan would support destroying human embryos to further scientific research in the field of possibilities. Especially since adult stem cell research works just as well, if not better for the needs of the research scientific community.
Nancy has been swayed by her liberal son's views.
