#1 Here is the area where there is the most controversy.

How do you deal with this to be sure a fetus is not aborted for transplant cells?

Do you get into why a fetus was aborted?

Personally, I feel that using cells from the aborted fetus where the cause of the abortion is anything dealing with a genuine mother's health issue, rape, incest, or DOA genetic defect (e.g. anencephaly) would not be immoral, but a child aborted just for inconvienece it would cause is immoral... But that is just my opinion...

I just don't know, but I am glad this woman can see now, and I am sure that if they perfect this procedure so that you going from blindness to 20-20 then we are in a whole new ballgame...

This is truly a dilemma...

But, if they can blood type and match tissue just as they do for other types of transplants this is truly miraculous...Anti rejection drugs are taken for all other transplants, though and why not this? Reserve this procedure for tough to match cases like; the baseball player Rod Carew's daughter who died from leukemia because her parents were of different races, and she couldn't find a marrow transplant donor to match...

#4 And yes, "eyes" were one of Mengele's specialties, and yes he would have approved. A leap of logic to ergo its bad is nonsensical, however...
