It was fascinating to read all of the justifications in a recent Associated Press article regarding the use of “fetal tissue” in medical research: (1) It’s been used for a long time; (2) eye research; (3) cancer research; (4) AIDS; (5) ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease); (6) spinal cord injuries; (7) Parkinson’s; (8) fetal development; (9) vaccines; (10) Ebola vaccine; (11) Huntington’s disease; (12) bubble boy disease; (13) schizophrenia; (14) autism. Sounds like “fetal tissue” is the key to eternal life — except for the unborn babies who are slaughtered in order to do the research.
