“Ooh! Baby! My favorite flavor.”
The headline is somewhat misleading, and revolting.

Coke - the new solent green.
The headline is not just misleading, it is a lie. Which makes getting behind a boycott like this somewhat difficult.
That being said, there is no way I would support use of any aborted tissue to be used for anything. You’re going down a slippery slope fast, to the point of when do women get pregnant just to “sell” their fetus to companies like this?
It is truly sick.
Well Peta will not complain
Seems to me the headline could have just mentioned that the company is using cells from aborted human fetuses, period, and been more accurate and just as disgusting.
Whoever writes these headlines speaks fluent moron.
The headline makes it sound like cannibalizm when in reality it is using fetal cells as lab rats.
Have they been able to create a system that determines the magnitude of how a chemical quantitatively affects one cell vs. another? Are they using this information to build a flavorant that balances salt, sweet, sour etc?
Are they trying to develop a system to measure taste without having to use humans and the inherent problems that occur with taste panels? If so, this is pretty stupid method for achieving that end. How did they get kidney cells to evolve into taste bud cells? If that's what they wanted to do, why didn't they just harvest taste bud cells from cadavers rather than using cells from aborted babies?
I must be missing something because one of the solutions offered was to use animals or insects. Well, you can't get human taste receptors from animals and insects don't have them in the first place. Lots of question, little information. The threatened boycott seems to have gotten the attention of Campbell's so there must be more here than this poorly written (and ridiculously titled) offers.
