Obama Admin OKs Using Aborted Babies’ Brains in Lab Tests
by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 3/16/12 1:18 PM
The Obama administration is getting grief from a pro-life group for approving an experiment using the remains of the bodies of unborn children victimized in abortion for research continues in U.S. laboratories.
Scott Fischbach, the director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life uncovered the information showing a clinical trial approved by the Food and Drug Administration uses brain tissue from aborted unborn babies to treat macular degeneration. StemCells Inc. will inject fetal brain stem cells into the eyes of up to 16 patients to study the cells’ effect on vision.
In its press release announcing the clinical trial, StemCells Inc. was careful to refer to the fetal brain material as “purified human neural stem cell product” or HuCNS-SC cells, rather than “fresh human fetal brain tissue,” a description which can be found elsewhere on its website.
“StemCells Inc. is not using embryonic stem cells. A five-day-old human being at the embryonic stage does not have a brain, but a fetus at 10 or 20 weeks of development with visible fingers, toes and ears has a functioning brain,” said Fischbach. “Developing human beings in the womb are treated simply as raw material for laboratory experimentation by StemCells Inc. and other companies seeking to monetize aborted unborn children.”
In the press announcement, StemCells Inc. calls the use of the brains from babies killed in abortions “truly unique.”
“With the approval of this trial, we have accomplished something truly unique in the stem cell field, which is the extension of clinical testing of our proprietary human neural stem cell platform to all three elements of the central nervous system: the brain, spinal cord and eye,” said Martin McGlynn, President and CEO of StemCells, Inc. “The preclinical data supporting our IND is particularly compelling and we look forward to getting this trial underway.”
Fischbach said the dehumanization of nascent human life, applied to human embryos in order to justify the exploitation of embryonic stem cells, is now being applied to the harvesting of brain tissue from more developed unborn babies with functioning brains.
But he said the problem is not unique to StemCells Inc — pointing out that the misleadingly-named Birth Defects Research Laboratory at the University of Washington in Seattle is known within the research community as a top government distributor of fetal tissue.
The lab has been sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for over four decades, according to a report in WORLD Magazine. The Puget Sound Business Journal stated that the lab “in 2009 filled more than 4,400 requests for fetal tissue and cell lines.” WORLD reports that the Seattle facility has retrieved the products of 22,000 pregnancies to date; the lab collects aborted fetuses from abortion centers across the country.
Experimental fetal stem cell treatments have yielded horrific results, he said.
Dr. David Prentice, an internationally recognized expert on stem cells and cloning, cites trials in which fetal stem cells have been used unsuccessfully to treat Parkinson’s disease. The New York Times called the outcome of a 2001 study “devastating” after “the patients writhed and jerked uncontrollably.” Another large clinical trial published in 2003 showed similar results.
“The use of morally illicit material in the biomedical industry violates the ‘do no harm’ principle that has governed the practice of medicine for millennia,” Fischbach said. “Adult stem cells offer the ethical and efficacious alternative. Unborn babies deserve dignity, not dissection and destruction.”
Locally, he said it is not known whether the University of Minnesota is experimenting with material from aborted fetuses, but it does use stem cells extracted from human embryos, which are killed in the process. Minnesota’s Human Conceptus Statute 145.422 prohibits the use of a living human conceptus for any type of research or experimentation.
“MCCL calls upon the U of M to pledge not to purchase or use fetal material in its research,” Fischbach added. “Such gruesome work violates human dignity and has no place in our state-funded institutions.”
“PP is in our schools K-12, equipping youngsters like whores—forcing us to pay for promiscuity and birth control, as well.”
They take away a lttle girls healthy bag lunch, and hand her a condom......
“I know .. the world’s gone mad .. up is down, wrong is right.”
This is Saul Alinsky, and Cloward-Piven all over.
These are 3 of the most evil human beings to ever live in the United States, and of course, they are like mother’s milk to Obama!
We, as conservatives, need a leader with exceptional strength of will and character.
Government is the religion of the sociopath.
You gotta caption for this? ROTFL.
Did you notice that the article you provided a link to was reprinted from “American Thinker.”
I posted the following on a thread about Paul Harvey’s “IF I WERE THE DEVIL”.
I think it applies to your comment as well.
God gives man what he needs. Lucifer wanted to give man what he wants. Lucifer challenged God proposing that Man would worship him for giving him man he wants, rather than God giving him what he needs.
God gave man ‘free will’. The problem is that man chooses the wrong things, the evil things, the bad things, the things that appeal to the senses, the lust, the desire for power and control over others. The DEVIL in is man, not Lucifer.
The result (as described in theological literature) is that man is turning away from GOD (what he needs) and turning to EVIL (what he wants).
It is all up to us. When enough turn away from God, then we will see what most would call ‘the end of the (civilized) world’. Not because GOD will do something to us, but because we will have done it to ourselves.
Very interesting, that Paul Harvey had a great mind.
God is always telling us to turn to Him. That is a choice we must make everyday and the closer we are to Him, the less chance the devil in us can confuse and mislead.
