New information from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) alleges that a “government-funded” university laboratory is seeking fresh aborted baby body parts — and is willing to purchase them from just about anyone.<\/p>\n

CMP wrote in a\u00a0tweet<\/a>, “Apparently the government-funded laboratories at @<\/s>UCSanDiego<\/a> are so greedy for “fresh” aborted baby body parts, they will try to buy them from ANYBODY — even without bothering to check who they are emailing. @<\/s>HHSGov<\/a> please STOP this now! #<\/s>PPSellsBabyParts.”<\/a>\u00a0CMP linked the tweet to a document<\/a> of e-mail exchanges with what appears to be researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).<\/p>\n

The e-mail thread<\/a>, running from April 1, 2019, to May 6, 2019, appears to show a request by Dr.Agnieszka DAntonio-Chronowska<\/a>, from a “genomics and genetics” lab at the UCSD contacting CMP for “human fetal pancreas” with “optimal age of donor” or baby “between 4-8 weeks embryonal development” or “any other available embryonal stage.”<\/p>\n

D’Antonio-Chronowska’s signature states she is a “Senior scientist in laboratory of Kelly A. Frazier, PhD.” at UCSD’s “Cellular and Molecular Medicine Building.” According to the Frazier Lab<\/a> at UCSD, Dr. Frazer is an “internationally renowned leader in the field of genome biology and medicine. She is the director of UC San Diego Institute for Genomic Medicine and founding chief of the Division of Genome Information Sciences in the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego.”<\/p>\n

The requested “specimens” (ages 4-8 weeks) could potentially include preborn babies whose\u00a0fetal heartbeat<\/a> can be detected and ones many pro-life Heartbeat Bills were created to protect.<\/p>\n
