Brains … BRAINS!!!!
Scott Fischbach, the director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life uncovered the information showing a clinical trial approved by the Food and Drug Administration uses brain tissue from aborted unborn babies to treat macular degeneration. StemCells Inc. will inject fetal brain stem cells into the eyes of up to 16 patients to study the cells’ effect on vision.
In its press release announcing the clinical trial, StemCells Inc. was careful to refer to the fetal brain material as “purified human neural stem cell product” or HuCNS-SC cells, rather than “fresh human fetal brain tissue,” a description which can be found elsewhere on its website.
“StemCells Inc. is not using embryonic stem cells. A five-day-old human being at the embryonic stage does not have a brain, but a fetus at 10 or 20 weeks of development with visible fingers, toes and ears has a functioning brain,” said Fischbach. “Developing human beings in the womb are treated simply as raw material for laboratory experimentation by StemCells Inc. and other companies seeking to monetize aborted unborn children.”
In the press announcement, StemCells Inc. calls the use of the brains from babies killed in abortions “truly unique.”
er Darleen,
Shouldn’t the title be:
Brains… BABIES BRAINS!!!
IRT the article (titled Obama Admin OKs Using Aborted Babies’ Brains in Lab Tests)
Just one question.
Who died and made Obama GODKING? Does he get to make up any law he likes? And when does Congress get a say in this.
OK that was three questions. I’d be happy with an answer for any of them.
Just for you, Danger:
One day in the future, Barack Obama has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to heII, where the devil is waiting for him.
“I don’t know what to do here,” says the devil. “You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I’ll tell you what I’m going to do: I’ve got three people here who weren’t quite as bad as you. I’ll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I’ll even let YOU decide who leaves.”
Obama thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the door to the first room.
In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. Ted kept diving in, and surfacing, empty handed. Over, and over, and over he dived in and surfaced with nothing. Such was his fate in heII.
“No,” Obama said. “I don’t think so. I’m not a good swimmer, and I don’t think I could do that all day long.”
The devil led him to the door of the next room.
In it was Al Gore with a sledge-hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.
“No, this is no good; I’ve got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day,” commented Obama.
The devil opened a third door. Through it, Obama saw Bill Clinton, lying on the bed, his arms tied over his head, and his legs restrained in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.
Obama looked at this in shocked disbelief, and finally said, “Yeah, man; I can handle this.”
The devil smiled and said………..”OK, Monica, you’re free to go.”
How soon before fetuses become a commodity that is traded by brokerage firms?
I’d rather go blind than accept stem cells harvested from the brain of aborted fetuses.
However, God does tend to have the last laugh when it comes to such things. I suspect the patients will not like the results of the experiments.
I’m quite sure, though, Mengele would happily endorse this procedure. Talk about ghoulish.
Leigh,
He seems determined to bring all of us with him. Fortunately though, he doesn’t get to make up those rules.
Unwanted offspring are now a resource. Shades of Modest Proposal without the satirical deliverance from reality. Let the flesh of the powerless be used to repair the flesh of the powerful.
Get your hands out of my uterus -> get your neuro-repair materials out of my uterus.
OT, but there might be zombies involved:
Wow.
Oops, link.
I knew he was up to something when he showed up at the WH dinner for Cameron with a scruffy beard. He’s not filming anything right now, so he didn’t need it to “get in character”…Oh, wait.
Oh shit. If they arrested Jim Moran he might get angry and revoke their legitimate blackness like he did with Alan West!
If this macular degeneration reversal procedure is found to cause similar unexpected results in trial patients, do you think they will give second thought to the next iteration?
If this procedure works, they can call it ‘Deadlights’. Surely some wag will term it that, eh?
Oh hooray, once again fetal stem cells have been used to show a tiny glimmer of promise in one type of treatment while being an area of horrific ethical ramifications and contention.
Meanwhile adult stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells, have been shown to be highly effective at treating whatever you choose to treat with them and get absolutely no air time.
There’s no controversy, so there’s not point, since there’s no outrage to gin up.
Hmm.. Injecting fetal brain tissue into patients’ eyes to treat macular degeneration? I suspect someone is having us on….

Is “the Lancet” known for their wacky japes? I don’t know if the cells or cell lines were harvested from the brain tissues or not, but it’s still essentially turning dead babies into an ingredient for a medical procedure. It is manufacturing of products from a literally human resource that is obtained from a life-destroying process. It potentially incentivizes intentionally destroying unwanted human beings to maintain wanted human beings.
