Anti-Aging Treatment Uses Stem Cells Harvested from Human Fetuses

This story might have been titled: When Vanity Meets Depravity.

According to the Daily Mail certain clinics are injecting liver tissue from human fetuses derived from "elective abortions" at six to 12 weeks, which the clinic claims to be rich in regenerative stem cells, for the purpose of diminishing wrinkles and reversing the signs of aging.

Here is the story: A barbaric kind of beauty

This procedure is reminiscent of the work of Josef Mengele. How can anyone rationalize such activity?

Umbilical cord stem cells are legitimate. Harvesting babies like they were corn so the umbilical cord stem cells are "optimal" is not. There's nothing wrong with stem cell therapy in principle.

Eventually we *are* going to have stem cell cosmetics that are ethical. We'll get a bit of liposuction and grow our own stem cell reserves which can be used for lifesaving treatment or cosmetically. There is nothing wrong with that. Killing humans for beauty treatments, however, is disgusting.

The baby killers will stop at nothing to make a buck. "So what do we do with all these dead bodies we've created? Lets sell them to beauty clinics!"

Stories like these make my stomach turn.

I've read several articles that the use of fetal stem cells backfired when used to treat some patients with Alzheimer's, actually worsening their condition by causing TOO MUCH tissue regeneration. Is this reaction limited only to CNS (central nervous system) applications? If not, those who undergo these disgusting anti-aging treatments may be in for a very unpleasant surprise.

I read an interesting parallel from Harry Potter I thought I'd share (sorry if it's a bit weird of me):

"The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and defenseless to save yourself, and you will have but a half-life, a cursed-life, from the moment the blood touches your lips."

I couldn't say it any better for those killing the unborn...even for their own cure.
