There is always going to be someone who feels that there is a moral or ethical issue with anything. This is my opinion only and I am trying to make sense. As to this specific question, there are moral issues with the way people treat PWPs (people with Parkinson's) and there are certainly moral and ethical positions about the PD research.
Obviously there are issues about ESCR (Embryonic Stem Cell Research) And these objections are actually shared by people within the Parkinson's Disease community as they hope for a cure. They feel that the use of the embryonic stem cells although predominantly obtained from fertility clinics which are about to discard (throw away - dispose of - rubbish) these unwanted/unused stem cells because of age/viability issues with full upfront disclosure is still the taking of a life despite the fact that disposal will end that potential completely whereas the use of these stem cells in research might actually result in the saving of not just one life but possibly millions.
