While Nancy Reagan pleads for the depoliticization of stem-cell research (which could likely help patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer and multiple sclerosis), Laura Bush commends her strength of character for taking "care of the person you love, as you see them slip away like that." Other opponents of the research expressed dismay that President Reagan's death was being used by research-advocates to advance their cause.
