Scientists Want to Scavenge Aborted Fetal Eggs for IVF Treatment

Scientists are keeping aborted fetal ovaries alive in order to scavenge their eggs.

From the Daily News story:

Scientists are ready to plunder the ovaries of aborted babies for eggs to use in IVF treatment. Experiments have taken the process almost to completion, it emerged yesterday. They raise the nightmare prospect of a child whose biological mother has never been born. The news, from a scientific conference in Madrid, was greeted with widespread revulsion at how far science is testing ethical frontiers. Experts warned of appalling emotional and biological problems.

But fertility doctors say the development could ease a worldwide shortage of donated eggs for women who cannot produce their own…Scientists have known for some time that female foetuses develop ovaries after as little as 16 weeks in the womb. Now researchers from Israel and the Netherlands have kept ovarian tissue from aborted foetuses alive in the laboratory for several weeks. They stopped the experiment at the point where they believed eggs were about to be produced. Chief researcher Dr Tal Biron-Shental said it was ‘theoretically possible’ that with extra hormone treatment they could have produced mature eggs suitable for IVF use.

This isn’t new. I reported on these efforts a few years ago. Some have even called for paying women who want to abort to carry their babies longer so that the cadaver will provide more useful parts.

By the way, it isn’t IVF for which the eggs will be required, but human cloning. Somatic cell nuclear transfer cloning requires a human egg for each try and eggs are in short supply. Indeed, I have frequently noted that the technology has been held back by what I call the “egg dearth.”

But if they can get unlimited eggs from dead fetuses and women, cloning will not only be successfully performed (which, I predicted, will happen this year) but eventually perfected and put to concerted use. Then, it is on to all the Brave New World technologies–such as genetic engineering–that require cloning to develop.

Killing the fetuses and keeping their ovaries alive. That makes the scientists complicit in the abortions. Think about what we are becoming.

This is grisly. Wait until all of these people grow up and start marrying or otherwise coupling with their own relatives since nobody is going to know who is related or not...will be great for the genetics screening business. Unreal.

The Democrat War on Women continues. Kill the girl children and harvest their eggs for profit.

The concepts makes me want to vomit.
However, how is this possible because ovum do not start to become mature until are the age of ten, so this makes no sense.

If you did not want to be a parent, what right do they have to make you a grandparent?

All of this sickness and perversion simply because of our pride and selfishness, too. They’re trying to say there is a “shortage” of eggs, to disguise this as addressing some medical problem, but there is no shortage. There are exactly as many fertile eggs on planet Earth as God wants there to be, and I’m certain they have all been allotted, in His infinite wisdom, to the proper ovaries. To think that we know better than God, to the point of murdering and cannibalizing our most innocent to thwart His will, is shameful and disgusting. Lord have mercy on us.

You’ll see genetic testing to confirm that people are NOT cousins before they marry / breed.

The Japanese were keeping goat fetus alive for seventeen weeks in an artifical amniotic sac connected to an artificial feeding and waste removal machine, way back in 2000, so who knows what they’re up to now? I wrote a spooky novel based upon the technology in the pipeline then. Wouldn’t even scare folks nowadays.

Just as science has figured out how to back up stem cells to an earlier differentiation, they can now mature those immature cells so they can exploit them.

Got the picture. Genetically engineered “humanlike” beings.

I just dug up an article I read awhile back that talks about “transhumanism and Singularity (the final stage of the 2045 project in which the ‘mind’ of men is turned into a neural network.”

It seems so far-fetched as to be impossible. But I would’t put it past
egomaniacs like Chavez or Kim Jun Jerk to fund such research.

I cannot vouch for the veracity of this, but think it’s worth a read: http://naturalsociety.com/looming-future-of-gmo-technology-transhumanism-biocrops/#ixzz2PMWK7jLT

It makes me sick and weep, these babies are slaughtered just to benefit people with money.
Did you ever read the book “Tilly”, every time I read these stories I think of that book.

So a child who is denied life has a child of her own, raised by those who sanctioned her death. A nightmarish idea.

Wow. This REALLY vile. They’ve hit a low even I, always anticipating their new lows, couldn’t have anticipated. Way to go, liberals.
