I strongly oppose the use of aborted fetuses for any and all medical purposes, including cell lines. This robs these poor babies of their humanity and treats them as animals. Ask any mother seeing the new ultrasounds available when pregnant if what they see is just tissue and they will all say, "No, these are babies". A child is a fetus when not wanted and a baby when wanted. Such a distinction is not intellectually honest!
