Peggy Noonan: Alzheimer's ain't so bad

[Cocoa]

It's funny, just a week ago she said the guy who was disappeared by mistake by the FBI will get over it. Also said the prisoners at Abu Ghraib should be lucky they're alive.

By the way, this online chat with Peggy appears to be real. Not a parody, believe it or not.

San Bernardino, Calif.: Do you think Nancy Reagan's support for stem cell research as a possible tool to find a cure for Alzheimer's Disease might convince reluctant right-wingers (including GWB) to change positions?

Peggy Noonan: Don't know. I have complete respect for her point of view and believe I understand it and what's behind it -- a desire to further explore science and medicine to the betterment of man. But I do not share her views, in part perhaps because it's not the worst thing in life, or the most unrealistic, to have a dark imagination. And I see a lot of the research going on now as making inevitable the Age of the Clone. And the beginning of the Cloned Armies, and the Cloned Replacement Part People... Man should not mess with this.

They're doing cloning reserach on apes.

The stem-cell ban won't stop cloning research.

If she is against cloning research, she should call for a separate law.

6. This kind of research must be stopped immediately!

Before they successfully clone a Chimp :scared:

So, Piggy Noonan, Alzheimer's isn't that bad? Why don't you go eat a lot of cow brains/spines & try to get CJD & find out?
