A recent report from the U.S. House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee claims that dozens of colleges and universities have procured aborted fetal tissue. The University of Wisconsin, Madison and the University of Michigan both defended the practice, saying they abide by legal requirements and use the tissue for life-saving research.

A recent report from the U.S. House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee claims that dozens of colleges and universities have procured aborted fetal tissue.

The report was compiled by a Select Investigative Panel established in October of 2015 after House members called for an investigation in response to viral undercover videos exposing the fetal tissue industry, and while the panel’s investigation was intended to focus primarily on abortion clinics, it also reveals that at least 60 American universities have received aborted fetal tissue, mostly between 2011 and 2015.

I think that with baby parts being gathered in an industrial scale that there’s an industrial use they are being put to.

“The University of Wisconsin, Madison and the University of Michigan both defended the practice, saying they abide by legal requirements and use the tissue for life-saving research.”

This “life-saving research” is an illogical term that needs to be put to pasture. The very nature of research is that you can’t know whether the results will eventually save a life, save a billion lives, or be completely useless. If you knew ahead of time, you wouldn’t have to do the research.
