Why would it be? If embryonic stem cell research is murder, then fertility clinics are as bad as gas chambers. Nobody wants to say that, though, because it's a political loser of an argument.

[dbw]

We are not exactly a scientific sample population... we're almost all male and medium-to-high income.  But I will answer your questions:

1. Do you know what a stem cell is? - yes
2. Do you know of the potential benefits of stem cell research? - yes
3. What is your age? - 23
4. What is the highest level of education you have? - bachelor's degree
5. What is your political ideology? - liberal/left/Democrat
6. Do you have children? - no
7. Do you support abortion? - Well, I wouldn't put it like that.  But I oppose criminalizing abortion.
8. Do you support adult stem cell research? - yes
9. Do you support embryo stem cell research? - yes
10. If no to #9, is it a conflict of your religious beliefs? - n/a

Good luck on your homework

 

[Mor Paul]

True about the medium-high income males. The nice thing is that the forum has no impact on political views, age, religion, etc... We're even in different parts of the world.

 

[tfarny]

We're also pretty heavily Caucasian most likely. The fact that you are surveying the "white males with jobs" demographic doesn't invalidate your research, but definitely limits its generalizability (yes that's a word) and should be clearly noted in your writeup.

 

[ByteFrenzy]

Max, you do realize that this will probably end with your teacher telling your folks to keep you away from that bunch of weirdos?

 

[hannaugh]

1. Do you know what a stem cell is?
Yep
2. Do you know of the potential benefits of stem cell research?
Does anyone at this point?  The research is so new.  
3. What is your age?
24
4. What is the highest level of education you have?
Bachelors degree
5. What is your political ideology?
Moderate/Libertarian
6. Do you have children?
Nope
7. Do you support abortion?
I am okay with legally having the choice, but I think choosing to have one is very selfish unless your life is in danger or the kid will turn out totally deformed and braindead or something.  So, yes and no.  Oh, but I don't support partial birth abortion at all unless the mother will die, cause that's just messed up.  
8. Do you support adult stem cell research?
That's the one that is more valuable scientifically, so yes indeedy.
9. Do you support embryo stem cell research?
Don't have much opinion on it.  I think if they really go at it for a while they will probably find that it is a waste of time compared to adult stem cell research.  
10. If no to #9, is it a conflict of your religious beliefs?
Nope, I'm not religous.
