Huh.
The loveliest of lovelies, Darieth Chisolm just told me in a TV news report (one that included the completely necessary comment from a local priest) that stem cell research is "controversial."
Funny. I just checked with Gallup, the polling folks, and they say otherwise. Take a look:
Yea, that's some controversy.As a scientific endeavor, Americans have a generally positive reaction to embryonic stem cell research. A solid majority of Americans (typically 60%) agree with using stem cells derived from human embryos for medical research; 61% consider such research morally acceptable.
That's the general picture. More specifically, only 11% of Americans want unfettered government funding of embryonic stem cell research while 19% want no funding whatsoever. The broad middle group believes there should be limited funding -- either with keeping the current restrictions (24%) or easing those restrictions (42%).
Because the issue is not highly important to most Americans, the public has, at different times, shown majority support for conflicting funding policies. [emphasis added.]
