Object: Reagan's Son to Speak at Dem Convention
WASHINGTON - Democrats have snagged a high-profile speaker —
and a measure of political one-upmanship — for this month's
convention: Ron Reagan.
The younger son of the late President Reagan will address
the Democratic National Convention in Boston about stem
cell research.
David Wade, a spokesman for Democratic presidential candidate
John Kerry (news - web sites), said Monday that Reagan will
have a "prime time" speaking slot during the July 26-29
convention. "Ron Reagan's courageous pleas for stem cell
research add a powerful voice to the millions of Americans
hoping for cures for their children, for their parents and
for their grandparents," Wade said.
Reagan, 46, has been critical of the Bush administration's
restriction of federal funding for human embryonic stem cell
research and the war in Iraq (news - web sites).
But he said his speech will only deal with the subject of
stem cell research, something he and Nancy Reagan have
argued could lead to cures for a number of diseases like
the Alzheimer's that afflicted the late president. Because
the extraction of stem cells destroys day-old embryos, the
process is opposed by groups who link it to abortion.
"If they had asked me to say a few words about throwing
George Bush out of office, I wouldn't do it," Reagan told
The Philadelphia Inquirer. "This gives me a platform to
educate people about stem cell research."
