Better to be talked about..
Article Abstract:
Embryonic stem cells dominated as a key issue in the US Presidential election with both George W. Bush and John Kerry having different views on this subject and observers find this as a mixed blessing for science. It is observed that such wide reportage will do more damage to this evolving science and scientists are advised to refrain from making extravagant public claims on behalf of embryonic stem-cell research to maintain the moral and ethical limits of developmental biology.

Head to head
Article Abstract:
The forthcoming US elections and both the candidates view on a whole range of issues including science, which have a lasting impact on the entire world, are presented. George Bush feels that federal funding of stem-cell research will continue, without crossing fundamental moral line whereas John Kerry feels that the ideological restriction put by Bush should be lifted, at the same time wants the ethical limits to be maintained.
