As Southern Baptists were considering a resolution critical of in vitro fertilization (IVF), a new poll by Gallup was tallied that shows a split among American adults on the morality of the process which results in destruction of unimplanted embryos. Gallup found 82% said the process was “morally acceptable” while 10% said it was “morally wrong.” The remaining 8% had no opinion. Religion was a factor in the May poll: only 63% of weekly church goers approved of IVF.
Only half (49%) of all American adults approved of destruction of the unused frozen embryos.
