Skin Cream Uses Cells Developed From a Life Terminated for Convenience
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at October 28, 2009 2:18 PM
What is it about the Swiss? First, Nazi gold, and now, marketing a skin cream that uses cells grown from the tissue of an aborted baby.
The company Neocutis markets a line of skin care products: Bio-Gel, Journee, Bio-Serum, Prevedem, Bio Restorative Skin Cream and Lumiere based on a key ingredient known as “Processed Skin Proteins.” The ingredient was developed at the University of Luasanne from the skin tissue of a 14-week gestation electively-aborted male baby.
As they admit on their website:
Through years of research, physicians discovered fetal skin has a unique ability to heal wounds without scarring. Inspired by this, medical researchers at the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland created a biotechnology process to extract the rich proteins responsible for scarless wound healing from cultured fetal skin cells. A small biopsy of fetal skin was donated following a one-time medical termination and a dedicated cell bank was established for developing new skin treatments.
I thought fetal cell lines were only going to be used to cure cancer and Alzheimer's. Guess I was wrong. Or, maybe it's just more lucrative to kill babies so Nancy Pelosi and Katie Couric have something to rub on their face.
Hey, you know what else you can make with human skin? Lampshades? Have you considered that, Neocutis?
Comments
AHA! Proof! I've been saying this for a while.
Family thinks I am coo coo.
I wonder if the make up companys are pro choice?
hmmmm....?

I take it you've never heard of burn victims?
I can assure you, most medicines you can conceivably administer, that many people (probably including at least one baby) have died in the process of making it.

Yeah, that asteroid is coming ...

What do you want to bet the people who get their panties in a wad about products tested on animals think this is no big deal?

Um, only if you consider rats, mice, toads, and/or bunnies "people." I can ASSURE you of that.

Dr. Tiller wasn't murdered, he was just subjected to a "one-time medical termination."

In the USA there are facial creams for women that use the foreskins of male babies. I actually think it was featured on Oprah, IIRC.
Yet, feminists are silent about ALL MALE BABIES in the USA having their genitals mutilated at birth.
Go figure.

We have already assessed in a previous thread that what you don't know about science could fill a whole district full of warehouses.
You even apologized for being such an ignorant dildo.
You have already removed all doubt.
Don't compound the error further.

"one-time medical termination"?!
Isn't an abortion always a one-time medical termination? Kinda difficult to kill a baby twice. They're very creative with their sanitized description of an abortion.

Sounds like a line of cosmetics Elizabeth Bathory would have killed for.

Lampshades? I resemble that remark.

"One-time medical termination"? There are some who'd like to call this an Orwellian abuse of the English language, but I beg to differ. Proper Newspeak for this one is "babygone".

Are you sure the proper term isn't "unbaby," Narrator 1?
Posted by: Judith M. at October 28, 2009 5:58 PM
anon as one who was circed when a baby I can assure you I don't feel mutilated. Please in the future state it as your opinion and not fact.

Gross. I read the list with horror hoping I wasn't using any of them. Whew.

Well, I guess there can be false positive results. Take the way Nancy PolPot Lucy looks for example, and you know she bathes in this shit.
There is a special place in hell for her, and her 'god' is waiting.

Let me get this straight, testing shampoo on rabbits is bad. Using human babies to make skin cream is ok? I think the Moonbats have sunk to a new low. I wonder how low they can go.

Hey, ya gotta get something from all those dead babies, right?
Posted by: Fuzzlenutter at October 29, 2009 3:54 AM
Yes, they do make nice lampshades. Just ask Hitler and Ed Gein...

If I hadn't already been circumcised shortly after birth by my parents, I'd have had the procedure done by choice.
There are valid medical reasons for male circumcision - one of which is that it can help prevent STD's. So, you'd think you 'screw anything that moves' liberals would like that aspect of it.

Screwball liberals would probibly cross the street to keep from stepping on a catterpiller would then support abortion and euthinasia

Fine; leave it up to the people to chose for themselves. Stop mutilating your babies, people!
"One-time medical termination"
Since you idiots seem to be confused by this (big shocker), allow me to clarify. They took the cells from one aborted fetus and grew them in culture; that is, all their material comes from one source. That is to differentiate the procedure from harvesting from new sources each time they need more. One time. Got it?

Never heard of clinical trials? People die in clinical trials all the time. Animal testing minimizes the risk, yes, but you can never completely eliminate risk.

Lets be honest since Neocutis isnt - uhmmm how many babies do you think were aborted BEFORE they miraculously developed this cell line? Now yes, they only used one for the final product...and how many embryos have been destroyed searching for the miracle cure that ain't coming anytime soon? A few thousand? C'mon people, think... these guys are not rocket scientists - it does not happen with just one baby....

The POINT, which you seem to have missed (surprise, surprise) is...
Abortion is wrong. OK? That means it's also wrong to use products or knowledge which were derived that way. If the practice were stopped (like it should have been a long time ago) none of this would be an issue because the skin-care product wouldn't exist.
Do you understand now, you clueless fool?
