Parent's don't always know what is best...
They hear doctor and thing respect. They hear research and have no clue.
I have a friend that is a particle physicist. He is a tenured University professor. He spends a little bit of time teaching but the lion's share of his time is spent working on research and experiments.
He is very happy doing this. If your parent's knew what he was making and saw the kinds of things he does, they might be a little more impressed about "research".
If you parent's are paying for your education... great. Go for the MD BUT keep your options open. Many MDs end up doing research and lab work. The difference between an MD that does research and a grad student is that an MD is usually the person running the show.
