Thousands of Americans face trouble doing regular work around the house. Most
            
             of them have difficulties using scissors, can no longer do extracurricular activities,
            
             and have to take several expensive prescription medications just to ease the
            
             uncontrollable tremors in their muscles. These people have Parkinson's disease. This
            
             incurable disease causes the degenerate of the central nervous system and is characterized
            
             by impaired muscular coordination. If embryonic stem cell research were federally
            
             funded then scientist could find a cure for Parkinson's disease. The only alternative for
            
             thousands of Americans is to take expensive prescriptions, which have more side effects
            
             than benefits, and usually have problems paying for the drugs (Devitt).
            
             Another case would be the several millions of people who need a certain organ to
            
             survive. For example, there are several kidney transplants needed, but not enough donors
            
             to provide them with a kidney that matches those in need of a transplant. This results in
            
             many of them being placed on a long waiting list with little hope in ever getting a
            
             transplant. Unfortunately, embryonic stem cells are the center of controversy for several
            
             religious, medical, ethical, and moral reasons. If these issues are not put aside then
            
             millions of people will die from Parkinson's disease and several will not get the organ(s)
            
             needed to survive in the future. Scientists should be able to research embryonic stem
            
             cells for finding cures without having a backlash against the scientists (Devitt).
            
            
             A stem cell is a cell that can replicate itself and function as a particular a cell in
            
             the body. There are several different kinds of stem cells, but the most controversial is the
            
             embryonic stem cell. The embryonic stem cell is created by fertilization in a Petri dish.
            
             Then, some of the embryonic stem cells are placed back into the woman a...
