One Doctor's View of the Stem Cell issue

Take a peek at the following excerpt from a post on the blog of a Christian doctor: Imago_Dei: A View From Germany

It seems clear that Kerry is attempting to use embryonic stem cell research as an issue he can make political hay with. He has painted Bush as an ideologue that opposes science for ideological and political reasons. Kerry has used misleading statements to support his view, including wrongly stating that Bush has "banned" embryonic stem research (which he hasn't). The DNC also used Ron Reagan to use all of his scientific expertise to give a speech during their convention. During Ron's speech, he alluded to human cloning without ever mentioning the words. Kerry has also intimated that the U.S. is in danger of falling woefully behind the rest of the world in regards to this research.

I believe it is instructive to look at another country and their struggles with this issue: Germany.
