"To not use the tissue that is in a tissue bank, regardless of where it comes from, would be foolish. Why would anybody not do that?"........However, many bioethicists - and the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church - would disagree that it is morally permissible to participate in any study using cells obtained by elective abortion...even if the aborted remains were supplied by others.

This could get Carson into some hot water if pro-lifers want to press the issue.

I think that Dr. Carson maybe about to go on a diving expedition to the bottom of the political sea.

Article’s old and been posted and obviously hasn’t hurt his poll numbers.

Last I checked it’s illegal to possess stolen merchandise. So why is it moral to use the remains of aborted babies for something?

In related news, Simon Legree says it is “foolish” not to use already imported Africans as slaves on plantations.

Taking this thinking to its logical conclusion, I assume that it would also be foolish to not call the local abortion clinic and arrange for delivery of the exact type of tissue needed as it becomes available?

I remember no more than ten or fifteen years ago, a lot of public agonizing about using data collected by Nazi doctors on oxygen deprivation and depressurization through fatal experiments on Jews and other subjects.

This is the same thing. Some biological materials and some data are morally poisonous.

And abortions are taking place NOW. There is no practical danger that Auschwitz is going to be re-opened as a death camp. That is, until after the Muslims take over.

I’m sure there were those who wanted to use the data collected by the Japanese during WWII as they used vivisection on conscious prisoners, immersed people in icy water, injected them with diseases, and starved them to death all in the name of research. The Allies deigned to forgo the “benefits” of the knowledge obtained.

Carson would not, apparently, have let it go to “waste.”

It’s foolish not to pluck out the hearts and lungs and livers and kidneys from Jews before you throw them in the ovens.

Hmm. People wonder why the medical industry in this idiocracy, I mean, in America, is in a mess

People wonder why the medical industry in America is referred to as an ‘industry’

A host on my Christian radio station just said Ben was drawing in the evangelicals.

How will they feel about *this*?

Bye, Ben.

Sure, why not use the flesh of already butchered babies... Dr. Joseph Mengele would be so proud. "Dr." Carson's "ends justify the means" philosophy just cost him our families possible support and vote. Dr. C, you don't use it because it is morally WRONG; the means used in procuring the "tissue" was and is MURDER AND THEN BUTCHERY FOR PROFIT!

For the "good" doctor to completely fail to realize this says a tremendous amount about his character and morals.

Do good Catholics eat meat that has been sacrificed to idols or pagan gods? Of course not, for the Bible says we should not. But what if we don’t know whether the meat has been sacrificed or not? The Bible says to eat with a clear conscience. For all you know, that burger you ate at McDonald’s was sacrificed to idols but you weren’t aware of it so you should not be judged.

In the same way, a doctor or a researcher who does not know where the fetal tissue came from shouldn’t need to ask before he chooses to do his work. He should work with a clear conscience if he is not aware. If he knows the tissue came from aborted fetuses, he is within his rights to object and refuse to do his work but one who does not know should not be compelled to ask before proceeding to work.

Frankly, I would find the support for RU-486 more troubling but that would need to be examined in context of what was said and not distorted. It would also matter how long ago this was said and whether his views have changed over time.

this a is a huge fail.

And add this to the fact that Carson is weak on immigration.

Too bad, he looked promising for a while. but that’s over.

Mr. Carson you can go away now please.
