Abstract

To investigate the attitudes of urban residents in China towards the preservation of embryonic stem cells and the relevant influencing factors, and to provide data support for improving clinical treatment ethics and ethical standards, as well as for the subsequent formulation of related national policies. Using data from the 2022 Chinese Resident Psychology and Behavior Survey, an OLS regression was conducted to study the attitudes of urban residents (young and middle-aged) towards the preservation of embryonic stem cells and its influencing factors. The mean level of support for preserving embryonic stem cells among the 8189 valid samples included in the study was 61. 17 (out of a total score of 100). In general, urban residents in China support this technology. However, among the participants who had not received formal education, the mean attitude towards the preservation of embryonic stem cells was 47. 34, and this group did not support the technology. The attitudes of Chinese residents towards the preservation of embryonic stem cells are positively influenced by factors such as medical relevance, attitudes towards gene therapy, support for life sciences technology, and perceived social support. To increase public support for the preservation of embryonic stem cells, joint efforts are needed from individuals and society as a whole.
