"I'm very grateful that President Obama has lifted the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research," the former first lady said in a statement. "These new rule will now make it possible for scientists to move forward."

"Countless people, suffering from many different diseases, stand to benefit from the answers stem cell research can provide," said Reagan, who has long been at odds with other conservative Republicans over the stem cell issue.

"We owe it to ourselves and to our children to do everything in our power to find cures for these diseases -- and soon."

Reagan, 87, urged "researchers to make use of the opportunities that are available to them, and to do all they can to fulfill the promise that stem cell research offers.".............." Seems odd that this was published in China

I think she endorsed Kerry for this very reason didn’t she?

You are mistaken.

Ok, I just remember her saying she wanted embryonic stem cell research or something. I thought anyway.

I will give her a break on this one, Nancy feels Ronaldus Maximus (I can proudly state forever he was the first person I pulled the Presidential lever for) could have been helped by this science, I am not certain she is wrong.

And if anything comes of it, the universities will get the patent rights and subsequent income.

The most viable stem cell work has been with adult stem cells and cord blood. If this was such a great path to medical miracles, venture capitalists and drug companies would have already been doing the research. Connect the dots...we pay...the liberal academics make the money.

She disagreed strongly over President Bush limiting the funding for embryonic stem cell research but she nevertheless endorsed him. Her ballerina son though did endorse the gigolo from Massachusetts; recall his speech to the DNC at the convention, and used embryonic stem cell research as justification for it.

I agree with both of you. If embryonic stem cells were so promising they could fund it with private donations.

I am not certain she is wrong.

You might not be but Michael Reagan and Judge William Clark know that her husband was certain that she was/is wrong. I think I'll defer to the three of them and not you.

Why the Reagan administration did so little about abortion: it was full of pro-choice types like Nancy.

Read Hollyweird types. This is sad since other types of stem cells are proving to be much more efficacious.

cloning a conservative Obama to criticize the socialist one would be awesome!

Ever heard that saying “when you’re real young you’re a liberal, and when you’re real old you’re a liberal, hopefully in between you’re a conservative”.

If there was a Conservative Obama, there would be talk about his radical parents, his rampant admitted drug abuse, his pushy wife, his attempts to ride on the coattails of Abe Lincoln...

Liberalism is all about spending OPM (Other Peoples' Money).

Look at Alec Baldwin and Whoopi Goldberg complaining about rising taxrates on the acting profession.

I have been on this planet long enough not to be certain about many things especially when it comes to science, as I indicated. I prefer in these debates people not accept my opinion, but if they do disagree with me I would hope they would provide their own opinion rather than cutting and pasting others.
