Fetal Experimentation

Fetal Experiment As described in Chapter 18, Chapter 3216 of Pas.C.A., it is a criminal offense to conduct any kind of experiment against a fetus or a living child. Three felony convictions are given to those who deliberately undertook nontherapeutic or medical treatments for children who are not born or live, except for abortion. However, the deceased child can only be inspected with the consent of the mother in writing. Anyone who deliberately objected to this issue will be guilty of mild misdemeanor.

Fetal tissue is also an important source of stem cells, such as experimental use of fetal brain cells for the treatment of diseases such as Parkinson's disease and dementia. Human fetal tissue plays an important role in the development of contraception and artificial reproductive treatment and fetal kidney cells have been used in the development of polio vaccines that won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1954. Developmental genetics attempts to identify active genes at specific stages of human development. This not only improves the general knowledge about the role of genes but also the knowledge that understanding about causes of large birth defects, understanding about living conditions of future generations, and human organizations can only be used for research Increase.

This report provides a brief overview of medical and ethical issues involved in procurement, preparation, safety, efficacy, and subject protection of human fetal central nervous system tissue in the context of nerve transplantation. Ethical perspectives on clinical application of fetal tissue include 1) fetal tissue with selective pregnancy abortion as surgical specimen, 2) fetal experiment in which the use of such tissue is for the fetus, 3) fetal tissue as corpse As with other organs considered to be organs, specimens have special consideration compared to adult cadaveric tissues. The latter approach seems to be most applicable and parallel to the use of cadaver organs and tissues after declaration of brain death. However, selective miscarriage may continue to be a major source of transplanted fetal tissue for some time until other tissue sources become available

Abortion opponents believe that research using fetal tissues is not morally wrong, but also unnecessary. Anti-pregnancy abortion Charlotte Lozl Institute stated to the scientist that he said "the contribution of fetal tissue to abortion can be ignored." Mainstream scientists oppose it. Thomas Baldwin, a biochemist of the American Association for Experimental Biology, wrote a letter to the House of Representatives and the Senate's expropriation committee. "
