Embryonic Stem Cell Research ~ Statistics

The options generally available to fertility participants for their “left over” embryos include cryo-freezing them for future fertility procedures, donating them to others for fertility attempts, discarding them (resulting in their death), or donating them for research (resulting in their death)
March 9, 2009 President Obama lifted the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research that were imposed by President Bush (Jr.) on August 9, 2001.
In 2004, California passed Proposition 71 which provides $3 billion for ESCR over 10 years
8 states permit research on a fetus or embryo (2008) – for details by state, visit http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparetable.jsp?ind=111&cat=2
The following stats from a 2005 poll, Taking Our Pulse: the PARADE/Research!America Health Poll, Charlton Research Company:
- 58% “strongly” or “somewhat” favor ESCR
- 29% “somewhat oppose” or “strongly oppose” ESCR. In this group, 57% say they have this position because of religious grounds
- 57% favor federal funding for ESCR, 35% oppose it
- 62% favor using donated, fertilized eggs from fertility clinics for ESCR
- 56% say there is “no dilemma” in using excess embryos from fertility clinics in research
- 79% say reproductive cloning should not be allowed
- 59% say that research into therapeutic cloning should be allowed

Our statistics have been gleaned from a variety of sources. CFL is not liable for the accuracy of this data, though every attempt has been made to provide credible statistics from credible sources. Links are provided to substantiate all statistics, below, and for further research in each subject area. If nothing else, these stats compel us to weep in confession and repentance before the God and Author of life. CFL was formed, in part, because of the horrible facts reflected in the these statistics concerning people needing rescue.
