Epoch Times: A contract for a steady supply of mice implanted with tissue from aborted babies was extended by 90 more days in February by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It was the second time in a row the HHS opted for only a 90-day extension instead of a full-year one for the contract as the department reviews all research involving fetal tissue for moral, ethical, and other concerns.
The contract with the University of California–San Francisco (UCSF), dates back to 2013 and pays over $2 million a year for a supply of about 100 mice a month, 90 of which are implanted with human fetal thymus and liver tissue. The mice are used for testing HIV drugs.
HHS launched its review in September in response to media scrutiny of the Food and Drug Administration’s contract with Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR), a nonprofit referred by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) to the FBI in 2016 (pdf) for allegedly selling body parts of aborted babies.
HHS terminated the ABR contract and committed to an audit of “all acquisitions involving human fetal tissue to ensure conformity with procurement and human fetal tissue research laws and regulations,” the department stated in a Sept. 24 release.
“In addition, HHS has initiated a comprehensive review of all research involving fetal tissue to ensure consistency with statutes and regulations governing such research, and to ensure the adequacy of procedures and oversight of this research in light of the serious regulatory, moral, and ethical considerations involved.”
The HHS also said it would look into potential alternatives to using fetal tissue. The review is still in progress, HHS told The Epoch Times via email. more here
Explains so much! Democrats have been hiding this so long!
^^^ You got that right! Now I understand why they’re hung like field mice!
Hahahahaha, hung like field mice, hahahaha!
I have a suggestion for your potential alternative. Use rats. You’re surrounded by them there in D.C.
When does the fire and brimstone come crashing down from heaven? Looking forward to that
WITF?
When the plague that wipes out humanity comes I’ll be blaming these scientists.
Some things were just ment to not be done.
This is sick and taxpayer’s money should not be spent on this.
The Good Lord knows about all this.
It is of Satan.When God is ready he will
shut it down and the evil people involved.
There will be no living thing that is
“natural” if all this crap escapes the lab…
I think people’s perspective on this issue defines them. When you have anonymous people post under fake names support this fundamental crime and call it “a woman’s right to choose” and then call themselves conservative on other issues, they are the most hideous of creatures. “lady” is a false and dishonest substitute to hide your name with and you deserve the ridicule you encounter.
So I disagree with that coward that posts under that false name of Brad Bad that calls posters here -who would ridicule this disgusting position – a coward and unethical in his core.
Just saying

Rat/Human hybrids explains a lot…
