One expected that the UW-Mad would produce professors who advocate--loudly--that buying parts of dead babies from the local (Minnesota?) chop-shop is absolutely, positively, necessary. That's Madison, after all.
Therefore, it's nice to see that a number of other Ph.D./medical doctors state that such procurement is absolutely NOT necessary. At all.
...we, who are also scientists and doctors, do not share this view.
We do not agree that research using human fetal or embryonic tissue from
abortions or procedures such as IVF is ethical or a requisite approach
for advancing scientific inquiry or preventing suffering.
The argument that fetal-derived tissues must be used in research to develop medical treatments is false. Many
therapies have been developed using cell lines not of fetal origin,
including insulin for diabetes (produced in bacteria), Herceptin for
breast cancer and tissue plasminogen activator for heart attack, stroke
and pulmonary embolism (both developed in Chinese hamster ovary cells)....--quoted at Badger Catholic
It is a commonplace that lies accompany murder. The question is this: whether the Wisconsin Legislature will accept and act upon the truth.
