Aborted babies to treat disibility victims
British scientists have been given the go ahead to inject stroke patients brains with cells form a 12-week-old foetus. Experts believe the cells will regenerate areas damaged by strokes and restore movement and mental skills.
Scientists hope one injection could provide a long-lasting improvement to humans. The first group will receive two million cells, with the final guinea pigs getting 20 million.
Trial leader Keith Muir, of Glasgow’s Southern General Hospital, said: ‘If it works, it may allow new nerve cells to grow, or regeneration of existing cells.’
Congratulations to science, I guess. Who in their right mind would not want to save a life or save a person from unnecessary pain, disease or disability. But I wonder how this will work in the future. Will we be harvesting babies for our youthful looks also. After all, an aborted foetus is not considered a baby.
Interesting also is;
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has signed an executive order ending the ban on federal funds for international groups that perform abortions or provide information on the option.
Obama signed it quietly, without coverage by the media, late on Friday afternoon, a contrast to the midday signings with fanfare of executive orders on other subjects earlier in the week. […]
In a move related to the lifting of the abortion rule, Obama also is expected to restore funding to the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), probably in the next budget. Both he and Clinton had pledged to reverse a Bush administration determination that assistance to the organization violated U.S. law.
The Bush administration had barred U.S. money from the fund, contending that its work in China supported a Chinese family planning policy of coercive abortion and involuntary sterilization. UNFPA has vehemently denied that it does.
I am more than sure China is going to go crazy over this opportunity. After all they harvest prisoners for body parts.
Obama said in a CNN interview. “And I think that on embryonic stem cell research, the fact that you have a bipartisan support around that issue, the fact that you have Republicans like Orrin Hatch who are fierce opponents of abortion and yet recognize that there is a moral and ethical mechanism to ensure that people with Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s can actually find potentially some hope out there, you know, I think that sends a powerful message.
Since I am giving news from America I may as well share an ad from the pro life side.
A video advertisement being dubbed the “pro-life Obama ad” has been well received by Americans during the week of President Barack Obama’s inauguration. The ad has already been viewed hundreds of thousands of time online, and will soon be appearing on major US television networks.
The ad shows an ultrasound of a baby in a womb, while the text explains that during his life the baby’s father will abandon him, and his single mother will struggle to support him.

Very sad to see fathers portrayed this way by the Catholics. I wonder how long it will be until the women’s cry, “My body, my choice” will just be an echo from the past also. A child has been the property of the state for some time now and some of our MPs like unpopular Sue Bradford want complete control to tell other adults how they should behave. Maybe she realises that under world population control and the financial payments per abortion plus the need from those living for aborted babies cells, there will end up being set laws such as China today. In fact, John Rockerfeller has always stood by the idea of the US to follow China with a one child rule.
Perhaps the most shocking chapter concerns John the Third. JDR3 took trips to China and Japan in the 30’s where he decided one child policy based on eugenics and birth control should be the model in the US (284). The Population Council was established in the 50’s, which made grants to universities and institutes for the purpose of promoting Malthusianism and the myth of overpopulation
So I wonder also when out taxes will be paid directly to the United Nations and no decisions will be ours as New Zealand citizens. It’s full steam ahead now that left wing runs American politics. The United Nations had every country except America itself under it’s control. Many countries basically signed agreements with the United Nations to get the United Nations off their back.
Ok, so here’s the beginning of a one world government. Welcome to the future of man and woman as “God”.
Let’s get this clear Julie,
As best Medical science knows it stroke is caused by
“It is the number two cause of death worldwide and may soon become the leading cause of death worldwide.[2] Risk factors for stroke include advanced age, hypertension (high blood pressure), previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), diabetes, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking and atrial fibrillation.[3] High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke.[1]”
(Taken from Wikipedia)
I suppose what that means is that if UK practices spread that someone can spend a lifetime abusing their body with cigarettes, fatty diet, lack of exercise, high stress occupations – and then when they have a stroke be treated with injections of harvested cells from murdered in utero babies.
I’m staggered and appalled at this.
it’s bad enough that millions of perfectly healthily developing in utero babies are shredded in abortion clinics throughout the ‘progressive west’ every year.
Just go to Google images and take a look for yourself.
Now some folks are calling for those babies to be used to help overindulgent self centered baby boomers recuperate from their self created medical problem.
Chillingly Orwellian!
The me, me, me, boomers and their supporters are leaving an horrific legacy, and one hell of a mess for the next generation to clean up.

Oh, that is good Skeptic.
Here’s another kinda similar to your comment.

If you haven’t done so already you may wish to look at the movie Gattacca – it shows in stark terms where what I call geneticism is headed.

I enjoyed watching Gattacca. I had hired a book about the genetics from the 70’s onwards and the ethical problems with it. I didn’t read much of it so this movie was pretty damn good. (thanks for the tip)
I was told it is hired out quite a bit from teachers.
