德国的生物伦理立法提出了一个难题：鉴于结构性因素，该国应该处于生殖医学的前沿，但其胚胎学制度仍然是西欧最严格的制度之一。过去的研究将这一事实与基督教和新左派团体的不寻常联盟联系起来，这两个团体都将现代胚胎学与纳粹时期的优生学联系起来。在这篇文章中，这个所谓的联盟的运作是在微观层面上首次展示。在关于胚胎植入前遗传学诊断（PGD）的关键自由投票中，个别议员的行为是使用他们的政治，部门和宗教信仰数据建模的。作为一个天主教徒和基督教组织的成员身份是抵抗PGD的强有力的预测因素。更重要的是，除去宗教和职业关系，基督教民主党或左翼自由意志主义绿色党的从属关系与限制性的生物伦理偏好密切相关。2011年的适度自由化取决于外部因素和历史上异常庞大的自民党代表团的压倒性支持。随着自由民主党在议会中不再有代表，基督教民主党/新左派联盟比以前更加强大，进一步的自由化不太可能。
Germany’s bioethical legislation presents a puzzle: given structural factors, the country should be at the forefront of reproductive medicine, but its embryology regime remains one of the strictest in Western Europe. Past research has linked this fact to an unusual coalition of Christian and New Left groups, which both draw a connection from modern embryology to eugenics under the Nazis. In this article, the workings of this alleged alliance are demonstrated at the micro-level for the first time. The behaviour of individual MPs in a crucial free vote on pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is modelled using data on their political, sectoral and religious affiliations. Identifying as a Catholic and membership in Christian organisations are strong predictors of resistance to PGD. Even more importantly, net of religious and professional ties, affiliation with either the Christian Democrats or the left-libertarian Green party is closely linked to restrictive bioethical preferences. The modest liberalisation in 2011 was contingent on external factors and the overwhelming support of the historically unusually large FDP delegation. With the FDP no longer represented in parliament and the Christian Democratic/New Left issue coalition even stronger than before, further liberalisation is unlikely.
