Secretary shall conduct and support research that utilizes 
human embryonic stem cells in accordance with this sec-
tion (regardless of the date on which the stem cells were 
derived from a human embryo). 
‘‘(b) ETHICAL REQUIREMENTS.—Human embryonic 
stem cells shall be eligible for use in any research con-
ducted or supported by the Secretary if the cells meet each 
of the following: 
‘‘(1) The stem cells were derived from human 
embryos that have been donated from in vitro fer-
tilization clinics, were created for the purposes of 
fertility treatment, and were in excess of the clinical 
need of the individuals seeking such treatment. 
‘‘(2) Prior to the consideration of embryo dona-
tion and through consultation with the individuals 
seeking fertility treatment, it was determined that 
the embryos would never be implanted in a woman 
and would otherwise be discarded. 
‘‘(3) The individuals seeking fertility treatment 
donated the embryos with written informed consent 
and without receiving any financial or other induce-
ments to make the donation.
