The truth is that you - people are doing scientific research with fetal tissue and it's not as if - no, this is brand-new news. This is something funded by.
I wouldn't want to donate my body for scientific study.
Every 30 seconds a patient dies from diseases that could be treated with tissue replacement.
Ever since I got to know how easily skin donation can save the lives of serious burns patients, I have felt strongly about the issue.
Given my absolute druthers, I would certainly like to see that every part of my body is used for spare parts for science.
I have been the beneficiary of donations in the form of human tissue and of a cornea which gave me sight when otherwise I would have none.
I got a piece of a dead person's ligament in my body.
It is important to note that there are no age limitations on who can donate organs and tissue. Newborns as well as senior citizens have been organ donors.
Write a living will. And become an organ donor!
The use of fetuses as organ and tissue donors is a ticking time bomb of bioethics.
