Tens of millions of people like Ronald Reagan, continue to fight debilitating diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and Diabetes. Stem cell research holds the promise of a cure. Bush's fight against stem cell research (he has even tried to ban it globally via the UN), sentences people like Ronald Reagan to years of personal and familial trauma, disolution of dignity, and eventually death. In a right and perfect world, Reagan's death would be the trigger for a well funded push into stem cell research to find a cure for these diseases. What a wonderful legacy for the man that helped bring down the Soviet Union and the fear of mutually assured destruction.
