Actor Christopher Reeve's widow, Dana, joined the Democratic presidential candidate for the campaign speech, in support of Kerry's intention to expand federally funded embryonic stem cell research.


Kerry said Bush, beholden to special interest, refused to make investments that benefited everyone. "On the other hand, he has an extreme political agenda that slows instead of advances science," Kerry said.


The Kerry campaign said Dana Reeve approached the Massachusetts senator about making what probably will be her only campaign appearance.


In addition to stem cell research, Kerry wants to invest in manufacturing and biotechnology, spur automobile innovations and urge students to go into science with education benefits.
