Fetal Tissue Transplantation Analysis

Improved Essays
In this article it is stating people’s opinions and the outcomes of fetal tissue transplantation. Fetal Tissue Transplantation involves someone having an abortion to help someone who has been suffering from degenerative diseases, which for example can be Parkinson’s disease, Alziemhers or even diabetes. They express this transplantation as an experimental process. There hasn’t been very many of these transplants done in the United States. The people that choose to abort their fetus and donate the fetus tissue doesn’t get paid for having this procedure done. They have to actually pay to get the abortion and to donate. People who are having abortions, they want them to donate their fetal tissues to people that have some type of degenerate …show more content…
They say that this tissue transplant isn’t a gift. They don’t see it as a gift if you abort a fetus. It wouldn’t be a gift to the patient if you had to abort your unborn child to give them your fetal tissue. It’s not seen as you being a donor if you abort your fetus for someone. It would be seen more as a donor if you had a miscarriage and then donated what they could get out of all the tissues. They say donating tissue helps the women feel less guilty when they have the abortion that’s why they have more women doing it. In my opinion, I don’t think this should be legal. I don’t even think abortion should be legal, although everyone has their own opinions. I don’t think that the fetus should be treated as just a tissue to help someone. On the other hand I could see if someone had a miscarriage and them donating the rest of the remaining tissue to someone. I don’t see that being bad, but I do see people just have abortions to help someone not be in pain shouldn’t be how to handle things. You are ruining an unborn fetus before it can even experience human life basically. I see that it helps someone not be in pain and live their happy life, whether they be young or old but I just think it is wrong to abort the fetus before …show more content…
Ruining a life to help a life isn’t the way it should be done, in my opinion. I think it would probably be much cheaper in the long run to get the dopamine from the adrenal glands rather that doing another procedure on another person and aborting and unborn child. They state that it is more of a victim than a donor when you have an abortion. I agree with that one hundred percent. I think it is sad that we live in a society that has this available in the United States. I have never even heard of this until I read this article and I was honestly blown away by it. The only way this should be legal in my opinion is if someone had a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies should be the only ones that should even be available for the donation of fetal tissue. Although they may not get much tissue out of it I still think it is better than not letting an unborn child not live life. I honestly wouldn’t care what the circumstances where. I just can’t stand to see someone want to abort their baby when there are so many women in this world that would love to adopt and love on your child that you couldn’t raise. Honestly I think abortion is considered by women on how they were raised

    Ingalls 1 Cody Ingalls Professor Rhodes Introduction to Ethics April 15th, 2017 Case Study The debate surrounding abortion rights presents many ethical dilemmas, and is rarely a black and white issue, which makes it difficult to label all abortions as moral or immoral. Many people who are opposed to abortion are willing to support it in certain situations, such as in the case of rape, incest, or the endangerment of a mother’s life. One of these situations is described in the case study “Conceived in Violence, Born in Hate,” an overview of a rape and assault victim who was forcibly impregnated and decided to carry the child to term. The case raises interesting questions about the morality of abortions in the case of rape, and the autonomy of…

    Last Sunday, my priest rambled about the ongoing election and who we should vote for as devout Catholics. He discreetly told us when he stated, “I voted for the candidate that does not support abortion. I voted for the candidate that sought to keep the Church’s ideals. When you vote, please remember the Church’s standards.” Essentially, my priest told all the attendants to vote for Trump because his presidency will prevent the practice of terminating unborn babies.…

    While the “sale” of organs, both adult and fetal, for transplantation is entirely illegal, the donation of tissue and the payment for the“reasonable” costs of the conducted procedure is legal, and that is what is occurring within Planned Parenthood. Therefore all allegations of illegal practices committed by Planned Parenthood are completely…

    Planned Parenthood is currently under a great deal of scrutiny concerning whether or not they violated Federal Law by selling aborted baby parts. The Federal Government is also trying to decide if they should cut the $500 million of funding that Planned Parenthood receives. While Planned Parenthood may have been breaking Federal Law, I do not believe that the government should defund them. Planned Parenthood does much more than just abortions; they do STI/STD testing and treatment, provide multiple types of contraception, cancer screenings and prevention, pregnancy tests and prenatal services, adoption referrals to other agencies, and urinary tract infection treatments. All of these services are available for men, women, and teenagers.…

    They say Nucatola was discussing a standard, legal procedure for providing fetal tissue for scientific research, for which clinics are often reimbursed for costs associated with procuring the tissue (as opposed to selling tissue for a profit).”(Carroll). As stated in the quote, the use of fetal tissue for research is perfectly legal with the patients consent, and why not use the otherwise wasted human life, to procure some good in using it for medical research? The out roar over these doctored…

    Planned Parenthood is well known for being a trusted health care provider in America. Since the 1960’s they have been a powerful voice for women’s rights. In July and August 2015, they took a major “hit.” The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released a series of videos showing Planned Parenthood officials acquiring tissues from aborted fetuses and selling the tissues. David Daleiden, founder of CMP, produced the videos saying that they provided evidence of, “criminal conspiracy to make money off of aborted baby parts.”…

    Abortion Satire

    It has been debated that it makes women feel like they have a choice in the matter but throughout the years this has left the father of the child without choice, and left the baby without a choice. killing babies and taking them from their fathers without a choice is wrong in my eyes and i also believe this to be murder and should be treated as such because for one you're still killing a person just that person doesn't have a voice of its own to speak up with. These children you're killing just because you don't want to take responsibility for not keeping your legs closed is almost childlike and very upsetting to those of us who think all people should have a chance to live life the only time that this inhuman service should be allowed is to rape victims because just like the child has no choice neither did she and just like i believe the baby should have a choice i think rape victims should to since they were forced to conceive a child but if you weren't forced to have intercourse then you shouldn't be allowed this choice you should be forced to take care of the child, but i do believe that women should have the choice at the age of being able to conceive whether or not they want their tubes tied if they decide not to and get pregnant then they should be forced to take responsibility for their actions and not allowed thee option of an abortion. Honestly in my own opinion i feel that abortions are just a way for a women to be able to have more than just the interactions she had leading up to the pregnancy and by aborting their child and their responsibilities they are able to do it even more times without anything stopping them….…

    Living in a world filled with people of different cultures, religions, and personalities, it is impossible to think that with every situation that presents itself in American that mutual agreement upon it will be made. In the news, we constantly hear debates about gay-marriage, police brutality, racism, and many other incidents in America that bring out the inner activists of our people. Most debates over these controversies are no surprise to the public because they have been going on for years. One in particular is the debate about abortions. Since 1973, the world has been divided into two distinct groups of “Pro-life” and “Pro-choice” due to the landmark case of Roe v. Wade.…

    The view of many is that there are only two sides to the issue of abortion. One is either a supporter of abortion or they are against it; there is no middle ground. There is a clear and distinct rift between the two groups of people. However, I believe that there can be a middle ground. People should recognize this middle and come together to discuss their thoughts and opinions in a safe and secure manner.…

    In the United States the constitution gives us certain rights, rights given to a someone by being a person. However, what if because of your age, you were stripped of those rights, stripped of the right to live? What if someone that barely knows you could tear you to shreds. If someone elses mistakes decided the fate of your life, and how would you react if these blinded crimes were all allowed by your government? Personhood, the legal state of being a person, is granted to people the day they are born until the day they die.…
