| | Online NewsHour: Embryonic Stem Cell Research | Interview with U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon -- Aug. 9, 2004 |
 | | WELDON Yeah, that's another one of those myths out there, the 400,000 embryos that are going to be destroyed. |
 | | The reality there, again, these are families that have gone through IVF, the in vitro fertilization, and they still have some embryos left in deep freeze, and the truth is the vast majority, like better than 90 percent of those families are not rushing to donate their embryos for destructive research. |
 | | WELDON Well, actually, that gets you into a very thorny issue, and it's an issue that I've been talking about, particularly as it relates to embryonic cloning, which is developing human models of disease. |
