Fetal Farming

First the United Kingdom, soon the US. A UK bioethicist has called for using fetal organs from abortion in transplantation. Once the UK decides this is a great idea, I can assure you the US will not be far behind. We have become a utilitarian society. Our society has accepted "brain death" and organ transplantation on a grand scale. It is the rare individual who understands that the donor isn't dead, just dead enough. The concept that death can be defined on a single organ dysfunction is ludicrous. But we have been so brainwashed, that we are doing good by killing one person, who may be profoundly ill and may die, to supposedly benefit another, that the idea of fetal farming (using organs from aborted children) will easily fit America's mindset.

In the UK, professor Stuart Campbell has stated: "If they're going to be terminated, it is a shame to waste their organs." Sounds like rhetoric for left over embryos. 

The use of kidneys, livers, and God knows what else, from aborted babies could possibly benefit the desperately ill, but more importantly, it would increase experimentation in order to decrease the organ shortage. Dr. Mengle, please call your office. Remember in Germany it started from small beginnings.
