Gingrich Vows to Ban Embryonic Stem-Cell Research, Questions in Vitro Practices By Karen Tumulty Published: January 29, 2012 Washington Post Post Politics http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gingrich-vows- to-ban-embryonic-stem-cell-research-questions- in-vitro-practices/2012/01/29/gIQAIO9saQ_story.html . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/7mqqedx . .LUTZ, Fla. As former House speaker Newt Gingrich courts evangelical voters in advance of Tuesdays Florida primary, he is drawing an increasingly hard line against the use of embryonic stem-cell research a position that contrasts not only with that of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, but also with statements that Gingrich himself has made on the subject in the past.
.Speaking at a Baptist church in Winter Park on Saturday, the former speaker received a standing ovation when he declared that embryonic stem-cell research amounts to the use of science to desensitize society over the killing of babies.
.And in a news conference Sunday, he said he would ban all embryonic stem-cell research, including that done on discarded embryos created by in vitro fertilization.
.Gingrich added that he would also create a commission to study the ethics of in vitro fertilization, which has involved the creation of hundreds of thousands of excess embryos stored or discarded by fertility clinics.
.I believe life begins at conception, and the question I was raising was what happens to embryos in fertility clinics, and I would favor a commission to look seriously at the ethics of how we manage fertility clinics, Gingrich said at a news conference outside another Baptist church here. If you have in vitro fertilization, you are creating life; therefore, we should look seriously at what the rules should be for clinics that are doing that, because they are creating life.
. snip .Bush allowed federal funds to be spent only on 21 stem-cell lines that existed before his August 2001 decision. President Obama lifted that restriction in 2009.
.Romney opposes federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research but would not ban the use of stem-cell research on excess embryos in fertility clinics.
