近年来，干细胞研究在美国已经成为一个国家级的科技政策问题，一些州支持该领域的研究，而另一些州则选择限制该领域的研究。在本文中，我们系统地探讨了与美国各州采用支持和限制干细胞政策相关的因素。我们的分析确定了几个因素，包括党派政治、现有的道德政策、一个州的科学界实力以及邻近州的政策环境，这些因素都会影响州干细胞政策的采用。我们的论文旨在通过深入了解当经济发展目标与伦理问题发生冲突时，推动国家采取科学政策的因素，从而推动科技政策文献的发展。
Stem cell research has emerged as a state-level science and technology policy issue in recent years in the USA, with some states supporting research in the field and others choosing to restrict it. In this paper, we systematically explore the factors that are associated with US states’ adoptions of both supportive and restrictive stem cell policies. Our analysis identifies several factors, including partisan politics, existing morality policies, the strength of a state’s scientific community and the policy environment in neighboring states, which influence the adoption of state stem cell policies. Our paper aims to advance the science and technology policy literature by providing insight into the factors that push states to adopt science policies when economic development goals conflict with ethical concerns.
