Why is there such a controversy on stem cell therapy?
The controversy isn't over stem cell therapy, it is over embrionic stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapy usually refers to stem cells extracted from the patients own body. Embrionic stem cells are extracted from dead fetuses. Those opposed to embrionic stem cell therapies are worried that it will lead to 'fetus farms', where eggs are fertilized until a fetus is formed, then the fetus is killed to harvest the stem cells. It is an offshoot of the abortion controversy in which the pro-life side largely believes that life begins at conception (egg fertilization). The controversy around stem cell therapy lies in the research in embryonic stem cells. Some people believe that the start of the embryonic stage is when a human being begins and is therefore unethical to destroy this for the stem cells as it is supposedly akin to murder.
Name 5 organelles of an eukaryotic cell?
As opposed to prokaryotes, eukaryotes have a clearly definable nucleus to store DNA. Obviously, the organelles present vary from cell to cell, depending hugely on each cell's function. Mitochondria are usually found, as are ribosomes(which are bigger than those in prokaryotes). Some cells will have other features: chloroplasts are found in some plant cells, and vacuoles may be present too.

Are gays and lesbians in favor of stem embryos cells?
It all depends on the person themselves. Something like being in favor stem embryos cell research is a personal decision someone has to make themselves. There are gay people in favor of it and there are gay people who are against it. Compare it to the belief in the Christian God, some gay people believe in God some do not, some gay people are Muslim, Jewish, some are Agnostic ,some are Atheist and some believe in some other kind of gods that i haven't said above. So your religious belief is a decision you have to make yourself and so is being in favor or against stem embryos cell research.
What did people think about the Nazi party?
some people liked it, so they joined it, others did not like it and opposed it.
How will stem cell research be funded?
Right now most of the stem cells research is funded by government agency i.e, NIH (National Institute of Health). There are strict guild lines that a researcher or a research group must follow to be eligible for the funding. Stem cell research is a big political issue right now and according to some scientists stem cell research is very fragile area but promising area to mankind.
