The U.S. bishops pro-life committee praised the Trump administration on Thursday after a federal ethics advisory board recommended against federal funding of fetal tissue research.
The Human Fetal Tissue Research Ethics Advisory Board of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)set up by the Trump administration to review grant proposals for federally-funded fetal tissue research conducted outside of NIH facilitiesissued its report on Tuesday.
In its report, the advisory board said that members voted to withhold federal funding of 13 different fetal tissue research proposals, and voted not to withhold funding of one such proposal.
In response, Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City the head of the U.S. bishops pro-life committee said the bishops applauded the administration for moving NIH in a direction that shows greater consideration for medical ethics in research, and greater respect for innocent human life.
Archbishop Naumann said that aborted fetal tissue research is not necessary.
It is neither ethical nor necessary to further violate the bodies of aborted babies by commodifying them for use in medical research, he said. The victims of abortion deserve the same respect as every other human person.
