Trump ends fetal tissue research by federal scientists

The Trump administration said Wednesday it is ending medical research by government scientists that uses human fetal tissue, overriding the advice of scientists that there's no other way to tackle some health problems and handing abortion opponents a major victory.

The Health and Human Services Department said in a statement that government-funded research by universities that involves fetal tissue can continue for now, subject to additional scrutiny — although it also ended one major university project that used the tissue to test HIV treatments.

These new @HHSGov restrictions will hinder lifesaving research into cures for diseases and conditions including Alzheimer’s, HIV, Zika and autism.

There is NO scientific reason to do this.


They are not just disruptors they are destroyers... death panels anyone?

I wish we could win not only the Presidency but the Senate too!
I think we will keep the House.

To suggest or do these hideous anti-humanity acts.
So, just who IS “the administration” making these habitually soulless hateful decisions?
Names.
So we know who to bring down.
