Doctor experimenting on living aborted baby in perfusion tank
Dr. Kirt Hirshorn of New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, on research using living aborted babies :
“I don’t think [research on an aborted baby, which he calls a “nonviable fetus”] is unethical. It’s not possible to make the fetus into a child, therefore we can consider it nothing more than a piece of tissue.”
Steven Maynard – Moody, The Dilemma of the Fetus: Fetal Research, Medical Progress, and Moral Politics (New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1995), p. 25.
