Baby body parts traffiking

[J1Priest]

My mom showed me some article that some pro-life Law Center thing sent her dealing with the trafficking of body parts.
I went online and found this website
babypartstrafficking.org/
and others in google

But I also came to this site of the government claiming that it is a myth: usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive_Index/The_Baby_Parts_Myth.html

It was interesting to find that all the websites that alleged authenticity of this issue had all the prices different (the articles all have different prices for the brain, for instance), and they are all pro-life websites.

Does any one know if this is true or a myth…?
And if it’s true, why would someone do this and why would some one buy aborted baby parts…?

I have read that women in the Ukraine are encouraged to abort. The aborted babies are then used for injected rejuvenation treatments by some wealthy individuals. Dr. Brian Clowes reported on this for Human Life International.

I have also read that the ovaries of aborted baby girls are used by researchers. The immature eggs are harvested, artificially brought to maturity, and used for embryonic steam cell research. This was reported in the mid-1990’s in the American Medical News. Sorry, I don’t have the citation for you.

There is trafficking in adult body parts, so it is not a leap to assume that there is a market for parts from babies as well.

I don’t know. The US gov site goes on and on about how it would be “Impossible” to conceal clandestine organ transplants, yet there’s more and more proof coming out of China that the government is doing just this with members of the Falun Gong group. If they’re wrong about that, it’s possible they’re wrong about the baby harvesting.
