Americans Back Stem Cell Research, Survey Finds

BALTIMORE, Oct. 13 - Far from being sharply divided, the American people are in broad support of research using embryonic stem cells, according to the results of a survey released today.

The support for the research cuts across political, religious and socio-economic lines, shows a survey of 2,212 people conducted by the Genetics and Public Policy Center at Johns Hopkins University here.

A clear majority (67%) either approve or strongly approve of stem cell research, and 40% would expand government support for embryonic stem cell research, including federal financing to create new stem cell lines, the survey found.

In contrast, only 16% of respondents would ban all research using embryonic stem cells
