what a bunch of drama queens
to expound, the little fetus that was killing its mother, likely an ectopic pregnancy, perhaps a detached placenta, and dying in the process, ended up saving hundreds of millions of lives:
‘The original cells were transformed and immortalized in January 1973 by a young Canadian postdoc by the name of Frank Graham, who was working at the time in Leiden, the Netherlands in the laboratory of Professor Alex van der Eb.
Normally, a cell has a finite number of divisions, but Graham managed to modify these cells so that they divide ad infinitum.
This was his 293rd experiment, hence the name of the line (HEK stands for “human embryonic kidney cells”).
“Use of fetal tissue was not uncommon in that period,”
Graham, a professor emeritus at Canada’s McMaster University who now lives in Italy, told AFP.
“Abortion was illegal in the Netherlands until 1984 except to save the life of the mother. Consequently I have always assumed that the HEK cells used by the Leiden lab must have derived from a therapeutic abortion.”

So you know and can guarantee that this was all from an etopic pregnancy?
Waiting for the proof.
FWIW, I have never heard of surgery to deal with an etopic pregnancy to be called an abortion.
“Fetal liver samples were obtained from the Human Fetal Tissue Repository at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY, and from Advanced Biosciences Resources, Alameda, CA.”
