Nancy Reagan Convictions not Hampered by Family or Politics
Isn’t it great when a person reaches an age or a status in life that enables them to speak their convictions without being hampered by finances, family, or politics?
Such is the case with Nancy Reagan, widow of the late U.S. President, Ronald Reagan.
Nancy has reached that stage in her life where she no longer need be muffled by perceived loyalties to family or political party. Her recent endorsement of President Obama’s reversal of George Bush’s restrictions on stem cell research is just another example of the independence we can acquire with age.
Nancy had previously voiced her support for stem cell research as something that could have helped her late husband in his struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
The technology that will enable stem cells to replace and regenerate within the human body will not only benefit victims of Alzheimer’s, but also shows the potential to CURE AIDS, Hepatitis C, and many other muscular and neurological afflictions.
Mrs. Reagan had endorsed Senator John McCain for President, so her support for stem cell research and rejection of the position taken by the George Bush Administration really transcends the political arena and reaches into the personal lives of million of victims.
I have always admired the stoic Mrs. Reagan, and was happy to see how great she looked back in 2004 when she spoke at the homeporting ceremony for the new aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), in San Diego, California.
