A top scientist in the Biden administration defended using taxpayer dollars for experiments with aborted babies’ scalps, livers and other organs in a new leaked audio, claiming the research is “moral and beneficial.”
The Daily Wire first reported about the leaked audio of Francis Collins, a former National Institutes of Health (NIH) director and current science adviser to President Joe Biden.
During a private Institute of Politics event Oct. 26 at the University of Chicago, a student in the audience asked Collins about the NIH using taxpayers’ money to fund experiments like one at the University of Pittsburgh that involved grafting the scalps of aborted babies onto the backs of rodents, the report states.
Collins, who professes to be a devout Christian, said he feels “troubled” by abortion, but he believes it is ethical to use “fetal tissue” for scientific research.
“After all, pregnancy termination is, at the present time, legal in the United States. Whether you’re in support of it or not, it’s happened …” Collins said, according to the report. “The material from those elective abortions is discarded. There are aspects of fetal tissue that can be extremely valuable in understanding how life works, how development happens, and how to treat certain diseases like Parkinson’s disease, for instance.”

Former NIH chief, Francis Collins, has no moral conscience. It doesn’t matter if use of fetal tissue in research can be “extremely valuable” to scientists. It’s wrong, and is based on the murder of a poor, innocent child.
I believe he was the longest serving NIH director but he is now retired.
Beware of another Fake Christian, in the mold of Biden, Pelosi, and pretty much any Kennedy, we pray for their conversions.
This a crazy idea.. They have no right to use the body parts of the unborn.
Immoral and unethical.
Just say no.
The word “devout” has lost all meaning.
Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.- Albert Einstein.
I would like to point out that in many instances, when a scientist reports using fetal tissue, it’s not tissue recently procured, but sample from some fetal tissue from the 1970’s. However, all too often, writers (regrettably, on this site) like to placate followers and attempt to emotionalize new readers by not including that tidbit of information in the hopes that the reader will believe that fresh fetal tissue is the new currency to develop medicines and vaccines. Don’t like using drugs thus created? Do a research on how many aspirin derivatives were thus created.
