 Robert P. George on Ron Reagan & Democratic Convention on NRO
Ron Reagan's speech Tuesday night at the Democratic convention was breathtakingly irresponsible.
After promising to "do justice to the science," Ron Reagan described the process of obtaining embryonic stem cells in a way that left out the fact that the cloning process he described creates a human embryo which is killed in order to harvest its stem cells.
