Proposition 2: Embryo and embryonic research
The proposed Michigan constitutional amendment would allow use of human embryos for any research permitted under federal law if the embryos are created for fertility treatment purposes; are not suitable for implantation or are in excess of clinical needs; would be discarded unless used for research; and were donated by the person seeking fertility treatment. The proposal also provides that stem cells cannot be taken from human embryos more than 14 days after cell division begins; prohibit any person from selling or purchasing human embryos for stem cell research, therapies or cures and prohibit state laws that prevent, restrict or discourage stem cell research, therapies or cures.
