LONDON, March 12, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An Oxford University stem cell expert has urged the use of aborted children in organ transplants as a solution to the shortage of available organs. Sir Richard Gardner has called for a feasibility study on the possibility of obtaining organs from the bodies of aborted babies.
He said, "It is probably a more realistic technique in dealing with the shortage of kidney donors than others."
The Daily Mail reports that pro-life and Christian groups have called the proposal "morally abhorrent," and said it will result in abortions being timed to suit transplant patients.
Dr Peter Saunders, of the Christian Medical Fellowship, said the transplants would be immoral as every human being, even the unborn, deserved "protection, respect, wonder and empathy."
Fears that this suggestion will create a trade in aborted children have their justification in the work of US pro-life groups who have in the past uncovered the relationship between the abortion industry and the trade in aborted body parts for medical research and the creation of vaccines.

In 2005, the trade in aborted fetuses made headlines after reports came from Ukraine that newborn babies were disappearing from maternity wards to fuel the increasing demand for body parts. One Ukrainian research institute was advertising fetal body parts, such as "Foetus spleen cells," and "fragments of foetus spine," for sale in medical research.

I believe we are witnessing what happens when He withdraws His Grace from U.S. Wicked men become the leaders and plunge the nation even ddeper into depravity of the soul.
Diabolical.
Take heart: America has had secular episodes like this in its past; they do not last long and are followed by a rebirth of faith amongst the citizens of this country.
Does not do anything for the moment, but I know it will get better. 8D
Abortion mills to become organ farming/harvesting operations. “Donor” moms will be recuited for $$$.
There is a very short trip from using embryonic stem cells to “just growing the embryo a bit more” and harvesting the organs.
That’s what is wrong with using embryonic stem cells..
Hey, Zero is giving us all another thirteen bucks a week, you should be able to get a new keyboard in no time.
A modern day “Modest Proposal”. The butchered children would make a marvelous source of protein too. I mean - why waste anything.
There doesn’t seem to be a bottom for these people. The depths of their depravity is apparently limitless.
Actually, they could just feed the "useless" baby parts to their dogs. Why waste? /s
If life has no value, nothing has value.
Come soon Lord Jesus!
No, it will probably just be their "duty" and all females between 18 and 30 will be required to "donate" a baby each year for "the common good".
Sounds like we are moving closer to the movie “Soylent Green”
Too sickening for words.
Words fail me.
As I posted on another thread, the judgment many think we are in is known as the "wrath of abandonment" where God removes Himself from the scene, removes His restraining hand from rampant evil, and lets the chips fall where they may when unsaved man, apart from Him, is permitted to do whatever comes naturally, which, incidentally, includes cruel, barbaric, Satanic behavior which is what this article is about.
I do believe that God has had enough, I believe we are suffering the "wrath of abandonment" and, unless somehow there is a national repentance and turning back from the path we are on, we can expect things to only get worse. Using babies for spare parts is the only the beginning.
Wow! Now that is just so DARK!!
What a noble thing to say. Thank you!
But there wasn’t an expanding illegal immigrant demographic or deficits this high in those past periods of Great Awakenings. Sure, there will be a backlash eventually when Obammunism crashes the economy completely. But the demographic damage of birth control and abortion to civilization appears to be here to stay.
The left should also move to make cloning legal. That way, we could all have clones of ourselves that we harvest for spare parts. I suppose we could keep the clone shackled in the basement until an organ is needed...
