A Trump-appointed bioethics advisory board issued a report on Tuesday that U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex M. Azar II calls a \u201cde facto government ban\u201d on funding research using aborted fetal cells.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The group, officially called the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Fetal Tissue Research Ethics Advisory Board, recommended the American government reject funding for 13 of 14 research projects planning to use aborted baby body parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The applications, which were sent to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), had already been recommended for funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, under President Trump\u2019s new process, scientists funded by the NIH to work on human fetal tissue projects have to go through a second layer of ethics screening before being approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LifeNews.com<\/a> reports, \u201cThe board examined 14 research grant proposals based on \u2018the scientific justification for the use and quantity of HFT [human fetal tissue] proposed and the use of alternate models\u2019 as well as whether there was adequate informed consent for the mothers donating it, according to the report.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n One study the group rejected was allegedly \u201ctoo interwoven with the practice of abortion,\u201d and they argued other studies could use miscarried babies instead of aborted ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The board noted they wouldn\u2019t have issues with most of the projects if they could find more ethical materials to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2018, Trump\u2019s HHS put $20 million<\/a> into a project searching for ethical alternatives to aborted fetal tissue in scientific research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Predictably, many on the left have attacked the advisory board and accused it of being biased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, a virologist at the University of Pittsburgh named Carolyn Coyne said, \u201cThis is a ban disguised as an ethics committee. So, the \u2018ethics\u2019 of research was decided by a largely Christian\/Catholic, white panel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, other scientists disagree and understand there are ethical alternatives available for research that do not involve ripping fetuses from the womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HHS Secretary Azar will ultimately make the final decision on whether or not to fund each of the 14 proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n infowars.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n banned.video<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Major victory for pro-life movement Kelen McBreen | Infowars.com – August 20, 2020 A Trump-appointed bioethics advisory board issued a report on Tuesday that U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex M.
