EVERYBODY wants a cure for Alzheimer's disease to be found; however, I will NEVER believe that President Reagan would have supported aborting embryos for research.

[Aussie Dasher]

I'm with you.

The Great Ronald Reagan was a man of true principal.

[satchmodog9]

And she knows it.

[silent_jonny]

I don't believe he would either. Nancy wants attention.

[LauraleeBraswell]

NANCY- Stop being manipulated by your son.

Alzyheimers is too complicated a diseasem it can't be cured by any type of stem cell including embryonic.


Ron JR is such a, really Nancy Reagan is the kindest littlest woman.

[LauraleeBraswell]

We all know Nancy Reagan is being manipulated.

Ron JR comes to mind...

[Keith in Iowa]

Let's say that again...

I could not agree with you more!

[mickie]

Ditto......

[LauraleeBraswell]

NOT EVEN THAT-

ABORTED EMBYOS CANNOT CURE ALZHEIMERS.

Nancy Reagan: Husband Wanted Alzheimer's Cure

First misleading title Former first lady Nancy Reagan said her late husband would want everything possible done to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

First sentence. Much different than the title indicates. What she said is not what the title indicates at all.

Would want means that Nancy is inferring Ron's wishes.

Wanted means that was exactly Ron's wishes.

Newsmax is getting a little sloppy. And yes, before you ask, it makes a difference.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan said her late husband would want everything possible done to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

I don't think the late President would support 'anything possible.' There are many many things that could be done that would be far more horrible than the effects of the disease itself.

Ditto-Nancy, like many older women who lose their longtime husbands, is very vulnerable now. I blame Ron Jr. and have nothing but sympathy for Nancy. She lost her world when the President died.

I've posted articles about ibuprofen and turmeric being promising preventatives. They are cheap, widely available, don't require huge government programs, and most importantly don't require the harvesting of humans.

If your post is any indication, Alzheimer's is also a bit too complicated for some of us to spell correctly.

[wagglebee]

By the time embryonic stem cell research received any notice, President Reagan was in all likelihood too ill to comprehend the implications. I have no doubt that President Reagan expressed a desire to see this horrible illness cured, he never supported the slaughter of innocent lives to achieve this. For Mrs. Reagan or anyone else to reach the conclusion that his opinion of abortion would be changed for any reason at all is absurd.

Grief cause people to say strange things and to develop opinions based on found memories and not reality.

Open your narrow mind, wagglebee. It's for theeeeeeee childreeeeeeennnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't you see that, w. I know. You're too blinded by Reagan. Nevermind. :) Hehehe!

On a serious note, you're absolutely right. How she can reach that conclusion after he was afflicted with the disease is ridiculous. Like I said, Newsmax is getting sloppy. This shouldn't have run.

[LauraleeBraswell]

I typed that too quickly. It just bothers me, Alzheimer's cannot be cured by stem cells, embryonic or other. It just isn't that type of disease.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

I agree with you. The poor woman is 83 years old. She recently lost her beloved husband. I just can't bring myself to judge her harshly for this. I also wonder if her memory is impaired at all. Maybe Ron is "reminding" her of things that his father said that he never actually said.

[pooh fan]

A Laura Ingram-ism is needed here: "Ron NOT a JR. Regan..."

Perspective, people.
