Switzerland - Evaluates Stem Cell Research

Switzerland, after having passed a law last year regarding fertilised eggs left over from artificial insemination to be used for research purposes under a series of conditions is back a looking at new laws again.

However, there seem to be quite a few rules, as there are throughout the EU and the rest of Europe.

Switzerland seems to be caught up in the same ethical dilema's that plague the US regarding unlimited research. So essentially in Switzerland the debate rages on with only a slight majority of Swiss voters supporting the research (based on poll data).
