Using aborted baby parts in medical research

Can you really trust science and scientists? Recent revelations by the Center for Medical Progress show how scientists used scalps from aborted babies to create “humanized” mice and rats to study the human immune system. BREAKING: University of Pittsburgh ADMITS Hearts Beating While Harvesting Aborted Infants’ Kidneys – The Center for Medical Progress I looked through the NIH forms for the grants to use baby parts for medical research and wondered about the long chain of experts, from language to enumeration to composing the agreements between NIH and University of Pittsburgh (and I'm sure many others). If I read this correctly, there is great care in assuring that the lab animals received "humane" care. Too bad the babies didn't.




Here's what it reads like in medical, sanitized, safe jargon (I've removed the footnote numbers, but those lead you to other studies): "Humanized mouse models with human fetal-derived hematopoietic system and autologous lymphoid tissues are well-established. Additionally, full-thickness human fetal skin readily engrafts onto immunodeficient mice and develops into adult-like skin due to its high regenerative capability. Furthermore, human fetal skin exhibits low levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I and II expression, which results in reduced immunogenicity compared to adult skin. Thus, human fetal-derived tissues and cells provide a feasible means to develop a humanized mouse model with autologous human skin and immune system."

For longer term studies, rats are used: "Evidence also suggests that nude rats support engraftment and development of full-thickness neonatal foreskin." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-71548-z

Parts sold from born alive babies

From a September 23, 2019 article:

“Forrest Smith, an obstetrician-gynecologist who performed abortions in California, testified not only that Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics were selling aborted baby parts for profit, but babies were often born alive, then murdered, in order to ensure the organs to be sold were more fresh and intact.

Smith, who said he had done at least 50,000 abortions, testified that based on what he saw in the videos and what he knows about the abortion industry, he believes doctors performed abortion procedures so that babies would be born alive, even though it puts the mother at greater risk. “

Center for Medical Progress and the leftist value system

The same friends and acquaintances who are anti-Trump are also pro-abortion and doing the happy dance that the journalists at Center for Medical Progress have had more charges filed against them. These journalists are the people who recorded in a public place staffers of Planned Parenthood discussing how to do abortions so that the tissue is in good shape for sale to medical labs. This reminds me of the Hawaiian judge claiming the travel orders for seven countries designated by Obama as not being able to properly vet and from which they've never had an immigrant is hurting Hawaii. Politics. Follow the money. Have any of the animal rights journalists who filmed undercover about animal cruelty in labs or slaughter houses ever gone to jail? Are animals that much more protected in our culture than babies? Or what about the undercover writers who go to work in blue or pink collar jobs so they can smear an entire industry like mining or waitressing while raking in the money for their latest book? The left loves those guys. Different ox.
