No, that is an urban legend. They only TEST them on aborted baby parts. They even know it was a boy and it was from 1973 or something.
They say that somehow, that is completely different.
The cell line you are referring too was from a single Danish fetus aborted in 1973. Those cells would gave gone into the municipal garbage as was the practice at the time in Denmark. The fetus was not aborted for medical research the mother chose termination for other undisclosed but private reasons. As such the cellular material would have been in the trash literally. Those cells were then cultured aka cloned for the next 40 years again and again cloned in massive amounts being distributed and cloned again and again in multiple lines. Not a single cell 40+ years later is an original cell the cells are the hundredth or more generational clone of the original. Does it really matter given the material would have been waste anyways and now is cloned to such a degree to be directly responsible for the saving of millions of lives over the last 40 years. For that kind of society pay back you could grind up a live baby and save millions and call it a win for the species people make it sound like that’s.what is being done. Its not trash from 40+ years ago has been cloned and used for countless benefit to society and that’s the fact.
