Poll: Americans Back Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Angus Reid:

Most adults in the United States appear to support medical research that uses stem cells obtained from human embryos, according to a poll by Gallup released by USA Today. 52 per cent of respondents would either place no restrictions on federal funding for this type of research or ease current limits.

Conversely, 22 per cent of respondents would keep current restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, while 19 per cent believe this type of research should not be funded by the federal government.
