Embryonic Stem Cell Research Introduction The use of human embryonic stem cells in scientific research has held great promise for some but this research has also produced powerful objections from others. Indeed, there is a profound if sometimes vehemently expressed moral argument that emerges from embryonic stem cell research. The principal objections to the use of these stem cells has come from evangelicals, conservative Christians and others who equate using embryonic stem cells with killing a potential human. Those who acknowledge the potential benefits that may be derived from research using embryonic stem cells tend to people who are politically progressive, college educated individuals, and those in the field of science and those searching for treatments and / or cures for Alzheimer's, cancer, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, among other serious health issues. This paper will examine both sides of the issue, all relevant arguments, and will attempt an unbiased review of what the current research into embryonic stem cell research has produced or promises to produce based on existing data and reports.

The U.S. military has adopted a doctrine which allows commanders to possess, and use, the appropriate forces needed in order to accomplish a specific mission, called Joint Force Command. Joint Forces need to perform a number of specific Joint Functions (I.e. command and control, and intelligence) in order to help the Joint Forces Commander integrate, synchronize, and direct joint operations. Also, the Joint Operation Planning Process (JOPP) is based upon the U.S. Army's Military Decision Making Process (MDMP, both contain a seven step process by which a commander and staff should conduct the planning and execution of a military operation.
