LUTZ, Fla. — Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich wants a panel to study the management of in vitro fertilization clinics, where large numbers of leftover embryos are discarded or stored. Gingrich says in vitro fertilization is the creation of life and that serious study of the rules covering it is needed.
The former House speaker made his comments to reporters outside the Exciting Idlewild Baptist Church, where he had attended Sunday services.
Gingrich also says he opposes the use of leftover embryos for stem-cell research, which advocates believe may lead to treatments or cures for a variety of diseases.
