Embryonic stem cell research is an ethically acceptable use of human embryos that are in excess of those needed to meet the fertility goals of patients. The ethical basis for this view and issues to be considered during the informed consent process for the donation of spare embryos are developed in this document. This 2008 report replaces the Committee's 2002 report, Donating Spare Embryos for Stem-Cell Research. Birmingham, Alabama
