A developing effort in the United States to turn the organs of aborted babies into a commodity is a technology bereft of morals, contend a number of pro-life leaders.

“This kind of Frankenscience could lead to more abortion because of the obvious profit motive,” said Leslie Hanks of Colorado Right to Life.

She warned it could be the first step to owning and patenting certain human DNA patterns or even actual human beings.

“Truly the stuff of science fiction, an abomination to Almighty God and sadly a further commodification of human beings,” she told WND.

WND reported this week on what the Genetic Literacy Project website calls xenotransplantation.

The process, being developed by the California company Ganogen, removes the organs from aborted babies, transplants them into a rat or pig and then allows them to grow so they can be transplanted into a human.

Work initially has been done on kidneys.
