Aborted fetuses are being used in experiments that destroy rodents’ immune systems by radiation and then grafting baby body parts onto them to “humanize” the animals in order to test drugs on them. The use of body parts is spearheaded by the US National Institutes of Health, which is spending $98-million taken from taxpayers in the name of science. Officials of Planned Parenthood were caught on camera a few years ago negotiating the sale of baby parts. Selling body parts is illegal. The Trump administration recently halted the US government from buying any more fetal material and is reviewing the practice. -GEG
ABORTED
babies are being used in macabre experiments in the US that involve
grafting dead fetus parts onto mice which are then used to test drugs.
Documents seen by Sun Online outline procedures that involve cutting out glands and livers of unborn children and then fusing them onto lab rodents.
The use of aborted baby body parts and
stems cells has sparked anger among anti-abortion groups in the United
States and it has been dubbed “Frankenstein” science.
And shocking undercover footage has led to the Donald Trump
administration to reassess if the practice should be continued at all.
Clinics are supposed to ask if they would like to donate tissue but it is unclear whether the parents are aware their dead children’s bodies are being used in this way.
But what is known is that abortion clinics are supplying the fetal body parts, although they are not allowed to sell them.
Phelim McAleer, who has produced the film Gosnell, about a rogue abortionist, told Fox News: “Aborted babies bodies are a very valuable commodity in today’s America.
“Research institutions, elite universities, medical centers pay a lot of money for baby parts.”
Undercover footage in an abortion clinic run by Planned Parenthood shows dismembered aborted babies, with arms, legs and other parts.
They were being shown to pro-life activists from the Centre for Medical Progress who were posing as buyers.
The Sun Online has chosen not to show the graphic footage because it is too distressing.
Planned Parenthood has denied
profiteering from the sale of body parts but it did say mums can give
permission to donate their unborn fetus, which it said was common
practice in such clinics.
Spokesperson Eric Ferrero said in a
statement: “At several of our health centers, we help patients who want
to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every
other high-quality health care provider does.”
US GOVERNMENT BACKED RESEARCH
The controversial use of body parts is
being spearheaded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is
part of the American government which is ploughing $98million (£75m) of
taxpayers’ money into using aborted babies in the name of science.
But addressing Congress in December, NIH director Francis Collins defended the practice.
He said: “There is strong evidence that
scientific benefits come from fetal tissue research, [which] can be
done with an ethical framework.”
