Use Aborted Children to Make up Shortfall of Transplant Organs: Oxford Stem Cell Expert
LifeSiteNews ^ | 3/12/09 | Hilary White

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. (See: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/nov/07113008.html)

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.

If that is the case, He was here until November. At that time, He threw up His hands and is now looking elsewhere. Explains why I feel that we've been in the twilight zone for a little over 4 months.

That’s JUST what I was afraid of. A slippery slope, indeed.

I have MS and there is no way that I would ever want to be cured if it came from the cost of killing a baby.

As do I and I agree with you.

Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.

Hey Barack HUSSEIN Obama, I went to Harvard too! That was the worst fieldtrip of my life, but I went there...

This is just SO HORRIFYING.
I just cannot even wrap my brain around it.
Who would have ever imagined that the world would come to this?

I believe in God and I truly believe he has a special place in HELL for those who would do these things!

Sorry, I know this sounds cold, but I hope anyone who KNOWINGLY has a transplant from an aborted child ends up with cancer and their body rejects the organ.

How long can God stay his hand against a society which has grown so wicked?

I know if I were God, these people would be squashed like bugs. (But good thing for me, He's got a lot more mercy and patience than I do.)

Guess I'm cold too. After their body rejects the organ, I hope they grow PAINFUL tumors and die slowly.

The statistics and demographics forecasters are talking about a shift within the next 50 years of Americans of European descent becoming a minority. It seems birth control and abortion worked out a LOT differently than expected for civilization and American society. Whoops! It would be a Third World-like society with a LARGE Democrat underclass. Not the U.S. as we knew it growing up. If that holds out, it would become increasingly difficult just to roll back socialism (and the rest of the immoral social engineering)through elections. Social and religious conservatives are already wavering at about a third. In Europe even more dire. We are going to have to PAY people to have children at this rate and offer all sorts of other incentives. It’s stupid that we are trying to make the two-income household society work now.

Yep. They will find out what DNA is needed and they will “Harvest” a child and then abort it to save another.

Coming to a theater city near you.

This is surreal. Unfortunately, I can't say I didn't expect this idea to be promoted at some point.

Whether a person belongs to any religion or not, this sort of thing should disgust any normal human being.
But then again, liberals are not normal human beings.
