Stem cells are cells from which stem all the branches of an organism, that means they may have the ability to transfer into any tissue or structure of an organism. This can cure diseases in which there is an overload, lack of or damaged functioning cells, such as Parkinson’s or diabetes. Stem cells may even have the potential to replace hearts or cure damaged spinal cords, allowing individuals to move freely again. These cells can be found in umbilical cords, bone marrows of adults and in embryos.
The ethical concern with stem cell research is the easiest method to retrieve these cells is through the traction of destroyed embryos. Due to vitro fertilization, where the egg is fertilized outside of the body, multiple eggs are used yet not all are reproduced. These remaining embryos will be destroyed or stored, which means they could serve another purpose that can possibly

Therefore, it is not as embryo's lives are being wasted yet used to help others instead of being rejected and destroyed after fertilization right away. The only way we can progress and fully analyze the effectiveness of stem cells is by countries, especially America, accepting its importance and supporting the research. Federal support would encourage more scientist to be involved in the research fastening its pace. If everyone were to work to make the most out of the research, the world could be curing and healing people faster. Stigma surrounding stem cell research is an obstacle in the progression of medicine, science and the wellbeing of people. Hence, the opposition is making the lives of the patient's, family, and doctors harder by standing in the way of their recovery. Too many suffering lives can be saved from the discoveries coming from stem cell
