The UK Human Fertility and Embryology Authority, which has become a rubber stamp for Big Biotech, has approved paying women to sell their eggs for use in human cloning research. From the story: “Women who go through the medical procedure to harvest the eggs from their ovaries, which doctors describe as ‘invasive’ and possibly dangerous, will be paid £250 plus travel expenses, the existing maximum compensation for any egg or sperm donor. Anyone agreeing to donate will have to show that they are acting for altruistic reasons, for example because they have a close relative suffering with one of the conditions scientists are trying to develop new treatments for with the aid of human eggs.”
What a load of cow patties! Two hundred fifty pounds (about $450) will only entice the poorest, most desperate, and most ignorant of the potential consequences to their lives and well being. Women could die because of this decision, and they will not be the rich or middle class. But nothing, I repeat, nothing, must get in the way of human cloning agenda and the emerging Brave New World. After all, what are the lives, health, and fecundity of a few poor women when the advance of science is at stake?
