Will Reagan's death finally get people to see that Bush's opposition to stem cell research is folly and that he lied when he said there were sufficient existing stem cell lines for research on things like Alzheimer's? The boomers will be entering Alzheimer territory soon. How do they like it that Bush turned an issue of important research into a political symbol for his anti-abortion stance? And how do they like it that he justified his decision knowingly or unknowingly (typical of Bush) with a falsehood that there were about 70 viable stem cell lines?
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2004-05-17-bush-edit_x.htmIt seems to me that Bush has let his politics get in the way of a science that is important to aging Americans. And he did it based on falsehood. And he never doubts his own decisions or changes his mind. And he can't change his mind anyway without hurting himself politically.
If boomers want stem cell research (which never should have been glued to the abortion debate in the first place), Bush must go. How many other Reagan-like Alzheimer's cases do there have to be in our own families before we realize Bush played dirty politics with science.
