The goal is to do a taste bud “sleight of hand,” creating low-sugar and low-sodium products that taste sweet or salty while actually using less sugar or sodium in the product.ĭoes your Nestle Coffee-mate Pumpkin Spice refrigerated creamer taste more like autumn? Does your Maggi bouillon taste just like chicken? Thank Senomyx. To do this, they had to produce an army of never-tiring taste testers–that is, flavor receptors engineered from human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293, fetal cell line popular in pharmaceutical research). These artificial taste buds can tell product developers which products the public will crave. The American biotech company Senomyx has developed chemical additives that can enhance flavor and smell. To be clear, food and beverages do not contain any aborted fetal material however, they may be tastier because of it. Products related to fetal material can be broken down into roughly 3 categories: artificial flavors, cosmetics, and medicines/vaccines. Under the leadership of Executive Director Debi Vinnedge, COG publishes a downloadable list of products that use aborted fetuses currently available in the U.S. Luckily, that someone is the watchdog group Children of God for Life (COG), a pro-life public citizen group which tracks the use of aborted fetal parts. Your daughter and son use coffee creamers and eat soup with artificial flavor enhancers (Senomyx/Firmenich) tested on artificial taste buds engineered from aborted fetal cells.īecause of the vagary of FDA labeling, unless you are proficient at reading patents and pharmaceutical inserts you wouldn’t know aborted fetal parts were there without someone to tell you The local school district requires that your grandchildren receive the MMRII (the Merck Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine). Your grandfather is given the blood product Repro (Eli Lilly) during an angioplasty. Your mother with diabetes and renal failure is prescribed Arensep (Amgen).
Your husband was given Zoastavax (Merck), a Shingles vaccine, at his annual physical. One might take Enbrel (Amgen) to relieve Rheumatoid Arthritis. Regardless, you may unwittingly be cooperating in aborted fetal cell research by purchasing products that use aborted fetuses, either in the product itself or in its development. Perhaps you are a diligent supporter and promoter of pro-life legislation, only vote for pro-life candidates, avoid entertainment from musicians and actors who openly support Planned Parenthood.
The new utilitarian use of people is a sophisticated enterprise, not visible to the human eye. Today’s consumer products are not the soap and lampshades of recycled Nazi concentration camp victims. The following article exposes the shockingly common uses of aborted fetal tissue.ĭo some products contain fetal parts? The short gruesome answer: Yes. Abortion is the flagrant taking of a human life, and the use of aborted tissue, even in pursuit of a cure, completely nullifies the bioethical principles of 1) informed consent, 2) benefit must outweigh the risk and 3) justice toward the most vulnerable. Planned Parenthood has become the fetal tissue “dealer” to both government and private medical research, and as such, reaps financial benefits. Aborted fetal tissue has been used to create everything from vaccines to potential cures for diseases, and is firmly entrenched in research protocol, even when other ethical options are available. This kind of research has been ongoing for decades in a shroud of secrecy within a medical community that has become unfazed by the ethical issues involved.

Is it ethical to use aborted fetal tissue in research? The practice of using aborted fetal tissue has been in the news lately with the trial of journalist David Daleiden, who filmed Planned Parenthood abortionists admitting they change their procedures in order to sell the “freshest” aborted fetal tissue to researchers.
