Though she suffers from multiple sclerosis, the wife of presidential candidate Mitt Romney Ann Romney does not support embryonic stem cell research. She instead chooses to stress the exciting results coming from ethical adult stem cell research while emphasizing the need for clear ethical lines to be drawn in scientific research. Ann Romney hopes her new website (just unveiled today) will be used to raise awareness of MS while also providing a forum for other things she cares about like recipe swapping and her husband’s campaign. Kathryn Jean Lopez today writes about Ann Romney’s efforts fighting MS at National Review Online. AdvanceUSA applauds Ann’s courage in supporting innocent human life despite the suggestions from some that unethical research could one day be used to treat her serious medical condition.
