Today, it was revealed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is contracting with Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) — a fetal tissue procurement company recently referred to the FBI for criminal charges<\/a>\u00a0related to the illegal, for-profit trafficking of fetal body parts — to obtain “fresh” fetal parts for experiments involving “humanized mice.” CNS News writes<\/a> that the FDA<\/a> “signed\u00a0a new contract on July 25 to acquire ‘fresh’ human fetal tissue to transplant into ‘humanized mice’ so that these mice will have a functioning ‘human immune system.'”<\/p>\n

And to get these “fresh human tissues” in order “to create chimeric animals” with human immune systems, the FDA chose ABR because it is allegedly “the only company in the U.S. capable of supplying tissue suitable for HM research. No other company or organization is capable of fulfilling the need.” The tissue is specifially obtained from babies killed in elective abortions, as stated by Harvard University researchers, according to CNS News. And therefore, CNS adds, “by issuing a contract to acquire human fetal tissue to use in making mice with human immune systems, the FDA is using federal tax dollars to create a demand for human body parts that must be taken from babies who are aborted.”<\/p>\n

And, according to ABR itself, these aborted baby parts are obtained immediately following an abortion, with technicians waiting on-site to collect the tissue.\u00a0Advanced Bioscience Resources is known for<\/a> contracting with multiple Planned Parenthood facilities in the U.S. to harvest aborted fetal body parts.<\/p>\n

In 2015, when the Center for Medical Progress released its videos exposing Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry’s involvement in selling fetal body parts, CMP’s camera’s caught Perrin Larton, head of ABR’s procurement services<\/a>, stating on video that ABR does not consent patients, but they do all the organ harvesting themselves:<\/p>\n

(ABR) \u201cWe are totally not involved in the clinical work at all. The clinic does all the consenting. The only thing we do is after procedure we will draw blood from the donating mother if you need serology testing, that\u2019s all we do with the patient\u2026 We\u2019re usually standing right outside the door\u2026 and we\u2019re in the lab area\u2026 then we get the tissue, doctor makes sure the termination is complete\u2026 we have it immediately after\u2026.\u201d<\/strong> (Full footage,\u00a016:10<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n
