Page "Nancy Reagan" Paragraph 66

Reagan has remained active in politics, particularly relating to stem cell research.

Beginning in 2004, she favored what many consider to be the Democratic Party's position, and urged President George W. Bush to support federally funded embryonic stem cell research in the hope that this science could lead to a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

Although she failed to change the president's position, she did support his campaign for a second term.
