Stem Cell Research Poll Results – iSideWith

This is an obsolete question. Stem cell research has been going on, with cells that are non-fetal for several years now. I think the scientific community figured out how to do research (e.g. using nasal passage cells) when the ban on fetal cells was enacted and I don't see why the govt has to get involved at all at this point in history. 10monsago from a Republican in Newtown, PA.

Yes, as long as they are non-fetal stem cells, as long as all developments are available for public review, and as long as the developments are not used as weapons or in the creation of weapons. 10monsago from a Republican in Pfafftown, NC.

No, leave funding and research to the private sector Fetal stem cell research should be illegal. 10monsago from a Republican in Lorain, OH.

Using non-fetal stem cells only AND leave funding and research to the private sector. 10monsago from a Republican in Diberville, MS.

I agree with stem cell research but feel that strong restrictions must be placed against using cells from voluntarily aborted fetuses out of concern that fetuses could develop a "market value". Mothers should be allowed to donate their cord cells or those of miscarried babies. 10monsago from a Democrat in Glen Carbon, IL.

They are already funding adult stem cell research, they should not fund embryonic stem cell research. 10monsago from a Republican in Alameda, CA.

Yes, but not without restrictions... Regarding fetal cells, mothers need to sign legal papers stating that if there's a complication, and the baby is still born, or suffers an event that creates a mortality while giving birth or soon after, do they agree to the donation of their organs, including stem cells for research. 10monsago from a Republican in Kennedale, TX.

Yes, provided that future findings will benefit those who cannot afford to pay for stem cell treatment. 10monsago from a Democrat in Dallas, TX.

No, funding for such research should be from companies that believe they can make a profit. 10monsago from a Republican in Potwin, KS.

I CONSIDER MYSELF TOO UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS TO SAY, BUT AM AGAINST ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED IMMORAL. 10monsago from a Republican in Casa Grande, AZ.
