I am in favor of stem-cell research. I am not in favor of creating new human embryos through cloning. -- Mitt Romney

We can continue to make significant strides in the scientific community by exploring new stem cell research methods that do not include destroying human embryos. -- John Boehner
Each year thousands of embryos, no bigger than the head of a pin, are created in the process of in vitro fertilization, with the support of Congress, by the way. -- Lois Capps
The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them. -- Ken Calvert
When I saw the embryo, I suddenly realized there was such a small difference between it and my daughters. I thought, we can't keep destroying embryos for our research. There must be another way. -- Shinya Yamanaka
The private sector can go forward, if it must, with destruction of embryos for questionable and ethically challenged science. But spend the people's money on proven blood cord, bone marrow, germ cell, and adult cell research. -- Roger Wicker
What you could say, and what I do argue in the book, is that he doesn't have as much concern for the lives of Iraqis as he does for the lives of Americans, or even frozen American embryos. -- Peter Singer
Well, there are two kinds of stem cells: adult stem cells, which you can get from any part of a grown body, and embryonic stem cells. These are the inner- core of days-old embryos that can develop into any kind of cell. -- Mort Kondracke
Embryos turn into babies; buds turn into blossoms; acorns turn into oak trees. The same programming that exists in them exists in each of us - to manifest our highest potential. What is the difference between those things and us? That we can say no...So today, say yes. -- Marianne Williamson
Every person is a God in embryo. Its only desire is to be born. -- Deepak Chopra
Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man. -- Samuel Butler
Patients' lives are more important than embryos. I do want to avoid the use of embryos if possible. -- Shinya Yamanaka
There is no way now to get around some use of embryos. But my goal is to avoid using them. -- Shinya Yamanaka
Now, an embryo may seem like some scientific or laboratory term, but, in fact, the embryo contains the unique information that defines a person. -- Todd Akin
For my part, I have worked all my life with eggs and embryos of frogs. Compared to other small animals, these have figured prominently in the world of literature. -- John Gurdon
We are here simply to decide whether Congress should take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to fund the destruction of human embryos for research -- Mike Pence

Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list -- the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation. -- Karl Marx
The right-to-life movement and the Roman Catholic Church are saying that it is better to destroy these embryos, or preferably have them adopted - which is not going to happen - than to use them for research. -- Mort Kondracke
I am not religious. I do not believe that personhood is conferred upon conception. But I also do not believe that a human embryo is the moral equivalent of a hangnail and deserves no more respect than an appendix. -- Charles Krauthammer
My first ideas of human in vitro fertilization (IVF) arose with my Ph.D. in Edinburgh University in the early 1950s. Supervised by Alan Beatty, my research was based on his work on altering chromosomal complements in mouse embryos. -- Robert Edwards
In recent weeks we learned that scientists have created human embryos in test tubes solely to experiment on them. This is deeply troubling, and a warning sign that should prompt all of us to think through these issues very carefully. -- George W. Bush
This was our last stop. This was it. We had those two embryos that we had banked prior to learning about the breast cancer, and with the medicine she was on, this was our last effort. The prayers were answered. -- Bill Rancic
If you are in support of in vitro fertilization, then you have to recognize that human embryos are being created in excess of what can be used safely to reimplant for a pregnancy. So they're going to end up being discarded. -- Francis Collins
The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo. -- Soren Kierkegaard
Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson's and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer. The fact that the cells may come from embryos is not an objection, because the embryos are going to die anyway. -- Stephen Hawking
What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution. -- Henri Frederic Amiel
It is not possible to think of a way of screening out effectively the most appropriate embryos, and hence, what we should expect would be late abortions -- either occurring spontaneously or being induced deliberately in the second or third trimester of pregnancy -- in order to prevent the birth of abnormal children. -- Ian Wilmut
--
Outlaw embryo farming, but allow using surplus embryos. -- Mitt Romney
Any kind of manipulation with human embryos should be prohibited. -- Ian Wilmut
What do you mean she left me the embryos? I'm supposed to get the cat. -- Susan Mallery
I thought, we can't keep destroying embryos for our research. There must be another way. -- Shinya Yamanaka
