Polls On Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Here is a little poll data from PR Newswire for you to mull over: "In 2001, a Harris Poll reportedthat a 3-to-1 majority of Americans believed that stem cell research should beallowed. Three years later, a new Harris Poll finds that this majoritysupporting stem cell research has increased to more than 6-to-1." If nothing else this promises to make life interesting for US politicians should they continue to attempt a ban on therapeutic cloning. For those who follow these things more closely, you can find links to more polling data at Fight Aging! Personally, I look forward to seeing the day when serious anti-aging research enjoys the same level of public understanding, debate and support.
