NHS to harvest babies' organs: 'Ghoulish' proposal gives mothers pregnant with a damaged foetus an agonising choice - abort the dying child or give birth so body parts can be used for transplants
TruNews.com is a Christian news ministry and enjoys a degree of credibility. Certainly more credibility than most American mainstream news agencies.
Well, they don’t have credibility in my eyes. They chopped up the original article from The Mail and made it sound worse than reality.
I detest being manipulated. And the article is very much trying to tug at our heartstrings by showing a beautiful healthy baby at the top when that is not what the NHS is proposing at all, if anything.
NHS Blood and Transplant said: ‘Under no circumstances would our staff or anybody else within the NHS pressure women to continue with a pregnancy solely for the possibility of organ donation.’
The NHS is speaking specifically of children that will not live beyond a few days outside of the womb. If that is truly the case, then I would liken this to someone on life support who could donate their organs to save lives.
In my perfect world, no one would ever want to have an abortion. That being said there would be babies born that could not live outside the womb. At that point would the parents be allowed to donate the child’s organs to save lives? I dunno. Perhaps that should be illegal as well, because it could lead down a slippery slope.
