FDA Fetal Organ Purchases Violated Federal Law, Experts Say
2021-09-21
[Free Beacon] The FDA shopped from a menu of aborted fetus organs to insert into lab mice as part of taxpayer-funded experiments, according to government records—a practice that watchdogs said may violate federal law.

From 2012 to 2018, Advanced Bioscience Resources, a nonprofit fetal tissue supplier, charged the FDA $340 per aborted fetus liver and $515 per intact skull. The FDA originally redacted these price listings, but a judge later unsealed the documents containing them, which were made public Tuesday by Judicial Watch. Federal law bans any institution from profiting off the sale of aborted fetuses. Meredith Di Liberto, the lead attorney in the lawsuit to obtain the government records, said the unredacted documents reveal a clear line of business between the FDA and a leading fetal tissue provider.

"I don’t know how you get around that not being a violation of federal law," Di Liberto told the Washington Free Beacon. "Why are they charging per organ? What work is involved that requires you to charge a separate cost for a thymus and a liver?"

#6  Convention, and waiting to greet us,
A chorus line: ABR fetuses
Pass in revue,
Kicking, cooing on cue.
[dancing babies] "Advanced! You can't beat us!"

#5   I thought HIV and AIDS were preventable.

Behaviorally. Not congentially.

#4  From Sci Am's 2015 article - The category of fetal tissue work that draws most NIH funding is the study of HIV and AIDS

Sad. I thought HIV and AIDS were preventable.

#3  One major purpose of laws, regulations, and policies is to show who is important enough to ignore them.

#2  So Planned Parenthood subsidize$ the abortion,
provide$ the cull to a leading fetal tissue provider
which then sell$ parts to the FDA for distribution
to [domestic?] research organization$
which are likely funded through grant$?

There's money in harvesting children.
